The Filter-Regulator Combination is one of the most popular air

preparation units. The 2 are assembled together to form a single

unit

Air Filter is used to separate dust, dirt, moisture & other

contaminants from compressed air

Filter has a Die Cast Aluminum body, polycarbonate bowl with a

steel bowl guard & a high performance Sintered Bronze Filtering

element

Filter is designed with a Separator & Shield for efficient moisture

separation. It is combined with a Regulator which maintains a

steady outlet pressure, unaffected by variations/fluctuations in the

inlet pressure

Regulators have a Non Raising “Press to Lock” adjusting knob

for locking at any set pressure. Regulators work on a Diaphragm

operated, relieving type mechanism with pressure compensated by

balanced poppet

WETTED COMPONENTS:

Aluminum, Bronze, Brass, Steel, Acetal, Polycarbonate, Stainless

Steel & Nitrile

STANDARD CONFIGURATION

• Pressure adjustment range of 7 - 145 PSI (0.5 - 10 BAR)

WHERE TO INSTALL A FILTER & REGULATOR COMBINATION? • • • • OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Install as far away from compressor as possible. This allows air to cool and moisture to condense. It is easier to remove condensed moisture than vapours. As close to tool/equipment as possible. It must be installed before Lubricator or else it will filter out the oil in the air coming from the Lubricator. With arrows pointing in the direction of air flow (towards tool/ equipment). 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
