Installation

Handle
Regulator
1. Thread the Regulator Handle into the
Filter/Regulator only a couple of turns.
Do not tighten it. Tightening it will set
the Filter/Regulator to high pressure,
possibly causing property damage when
first connecting the air supply.
2. Incorporate an in-line shutoff valve, and quick
coupler for best service, as shown on Figure A on
page 6 and Figure B on page 7.
An in-line
shutoff ball valve is an important safety device
because it controls the air supply even if the air
hose is ruptured. The shutoff valve should be
a ball valve because it can be closed quickly.
Note:
Wrap all threaded connectors before
connecting them with pipe thread seal
tape (PTFE) to prevent leaking.
3. Attach an air hose to the compressor’s air outlet.
Connect the air hose to the Air Inlet of the unit.
Note:
Air flow, and therefore tool performance,
can be hindered by undersized air supply components.
4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between
the compressor and the tool.
5. Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer’s directions and allow it
to build up pressure until it cycles off.
6. Inspect the air connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.
Air Connection Setup
1. Connect the Filter/Regulator, an in line shut
off valve and a 1/4
″
NPT air hose to the
Compressor’s Quick Coupler as outlined in
Step #3 of Installation. Next, add an air hose
from the outlet of the Filter/Regulator to the air
tool in the work area. The air hose must be long
enough to reach the work area with enough extra
length to allow free movement while working.
Note:
An in-line shutoff ball valve is an important
safety device because it controls the air supply even
if the air hose is ruptured. The shutoff valve should
be a ball valve because it can be closed quickly.
2. Depending on the tool that will be used with this
Filter/Regulator, incorporate additional components,
such as an in-line oiler, a filter, or a dryer
(all sold separately), as shown on
Figure A on page 6 and Figure B on page 7.
Consult air tool’s manual for needed accessories.
