RADEX AIRLINE FILTER
NOTE
Refer to your respirator instruction manual for pressure ranges for your respirators, increase
the pressure according to the number of operators.
Check that ALL fittings and connections are tight. YOUR FILTER IS NOW READY FOR USE.
INLET CONNECTION
The Radex
®
Airline Filter has a 1” NPT inlet. Thread in a ball valve close to the inlet so
the unit can be shut off for servicing. Connect inlet fittings and tighten. Once the Radex
®
is
completely assembled and connected to compressed air open supply line, check fittings for
any air leaks and tighten accordingly.
DO NOT over tighten fittings, as over tightening could crack the
filter body which may lead to an explosion and cause serious injury.
Follow tightening directions from the maintenance section using a torque wrench.
BREATHING AIR SUPPLY HOSES AND FITTINGS
RPB
®
air supply hoses and fittings must be used between the Radex
®
(point of attachment)
and the respirator breathing air connection at the wearer’s belt. The hose sections must be
within the correct length and the amount of sections must be within the number specified in
the breathing air pressure table in the instruction manual for the respirator being used. All
connections should be sealed using liquid thread sealant. If the Radex
®
Airline Filter is hard
piped an isolation valve must be used to enable depressurization for servicing.
MAINTENANCE
Drain Moisture Daily
Water will accumulate in the filter tank, this should be drained by opening the ball valve.
This should be done each day. In very humid climates or if there is large amounts of water in
the air supply it is recommended to leave the ball valve partially open to bleed the moisture.
When fitted with auto drain assembly 04-924, moisture will automatically drain from the unit.
Check it periodically as particles could cause blockages.
Filter cartridge replacement
The filter cartridge should be inspected weekly or more often depending on usage and the
conditions of the air system in which the Radex
® Airline Filter is installed. The filter cartridge
should be replaced after a period of 3 months based on a 40 hour week and typical usage.
If the Pressure Gauge on the Super High Flow Regulator and the Pressure Gauge on the
Manifold are reading more than 10psi apart, your cartridge is blocked and needs replacing.
The filter cartridge must be replaced immediately if the following exist:
1. The presence of odor and or tastes in the air being supplied to the respirator.
2. Presence of moisture at the outlet fittings.
3. Large pressure drop of 10psi or more across the filter.
