05E, 06E, 07E, & 12E Filter / Regulators
27E Precision Filter / Regulator
ISSUED: November, 2003
Supersedes: April, 2003
Doc.# 2FR100, ECN# 030539, Rev. 10
Installation
1. The Filter / Regulator should be installed with reasonable accessibility for
service whenever possible – repair service kits are available. Keep pipe or
tubing lengths to a minimum with inside clean and free of dirt and chips.
Pipe joint compound should be used sparingly and applied only to the
male pipe – never into the female port. Do not use PTFE tape to seal pipe
joints – pieces have a tendency to break off and lodge inside the unit,
possibly causing malfunction. Also, new pipe or hose should be installed
between the Filter / Regulator and equipment being protected.
2. The upstream pipe work must be clear of accumulated dirt and liquids.
3. Select a Filter / Regulator location as close as possible to the equipment
being protected.
4. Install Filter / Regulator so that air flows in the direction of arrow on body.
5. Install Filter / Regulator vertically with the bowl drain mechanism at the
bottom. Free moisture will thus drain into the sump (“quiet zone”) at the
bottom of the bowl.
6. Gauge ports are located on both sides of the filter/regulator body for your
convenience. It is necessary to install a gauge or socket pipe plugs into
each port during installation.
Operation
1. Both free moisture and solids are removed automatically by the filter.
Units with coalescing elements (e.g. 12E series) also remove oil. For
coalescing units, a 5 micrometer pre-filter is recommended to protect and
prolong the life of the coalescent filter element.
2. Manual drain filters must be drained regularly before the separated moisture
and oil reaches the bottom of the baffle or end cap.
3. The filter element should be removed and replaced when pressure
differential across the filter is 69 kPa (10 PSIG).
4. Before turning on the air supply, turn the knob counterclockwise until
compression is released from the pressure control spring. Then turn knob
clockwise and adjust regulator to desired downstream pressure. This
permits pressure to build up slowly in the downstream line.
5. To decrease regulated pressure settings, always reset from a pressure
lower than the final setting required. Example, lowering the secondary
pressure from 550 to 410 kPa (80 to 60 PSIG) is best accomplished by
dropping the secondary pressure to 350 kPa (50 PSIG), then adjusting
upward to 410 kPa (60 PSIG).
6. When desired secondary pressure settings have been reached, push the
knob down to lock this pressure setting.
Service
Caution: Disconnect or shut off air supply and exhaust the primary
and secondary pressures before servicing unit. Turning the
adjusting knob counterclockwise does not vent downstream
pressure on non-relieving regulators. Downstream pressure must
be vented before servicing regulator.
Note: Grease packets are supplied with kits for lubrication of seals. Use
only mineral based grease or oils. Do not use synthetic oils such
as esters. Do not use silicones.
Note: After servicing unit, turn on air supply and adjust regulator to the
desired downstream pressure. Check unit for leaks. If leakage
occurs, do not operate - conduct repairs and retest.

WARNING
To avoid unpredictable system behavior that can cause personal injury
and property damage:
• Disconnect electrical supply (when necessary) before installation,
servicing, or conversion.
• Disconnect air supply and depressurize all air lines connected to
this product before installation, servicing, or conversion.
• Operate within the manufacturer’s specified pressure, temperature,
and other conditions listed in these instructions.
• Medium must be moisture-free if ambient temperature is below
freezing.
• Service according to procedures listed in these instructions.
• Installation, service, and conversion of these products must be
performed by knowledgeable personnel who understand how
pneumatic products are to be applied.
• After installation, servicing, or conversion, air and electrical supplies
(when necessary) should be connected and the product tested for
proper function and leakage. If audible leakage is present, or the
product does not operate properly, do not put into use.
