Clamping yoke Metal bowl Discharge tube adaptor IP2AM only with sight level An adaptor can be supplied for the auto-drain on the IP2AM models, to accept 8 mm O/D copper or plastic tube. Fig. 8 Fig. 9 Bowl guard In the interest of safety Spirax Sarco recommend that a bowl guard should be fitted to polycarbonate bowls - see Section 3.1.
3.3 Installation 3.3.1 The unit should be fitted in horizontal pipework with the bowl vertically downwards. 3.3.2 Adequate space should be provided around the unit to allow easy access for routine servicing requirements (see Figures 2 and 3 for withdrawal distances). 3.3.3 Connect the unit so that the airflow is in the direction indicated by the arrow on the body.
/ piston moves downward allowing filtered air to flow in through the orifice created between the poppet assembly and seat. Auto-drain - IP2AM The Monnier internal auto-drain is a pilot operated unit. As the water level in the bowl rises, the float (13) lifts, allowing line pressure to act on a piston, which opens the main discharge valve.

4.2 Performance selection (with primary pressure 10 bar) For any specified primary filtration pressure, there is a maximum recommended air flowrate. Keeping within this, will ensure that the element performance maintains the stated high efficiency levels, particularly for the removal of oil and water contaminants. 4.3 Capacities Key for all charts With primary pressure 10 bar and 5 μm element...

5.2 Maintenance (no tools required) How to replace the pressure control assembly: Isolate the main air supply. Lift the adjustment knob (1) to unlock and proceed to rotate the adjustment knob fully anticlockwise until stop is felt, then continue rotating until the knob is free. Remove the adjuster nut (1A) from inside adjustment knob.
