INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
ALUMINIUM FILTER REGULATOR
SIZE: 1/4" & 1/2"
Piping
Connect piping to valve according to markings on FR body. Apply pipe
compound sparingly to male pipe threads only. If applied to FR threads, the
compound may enter the FR and cause functional difficulty. Avoid pipe strain
by properly supporting and aligning piping. When tightening the pipe, do not
use the FR as a lever. Locate wrenches applied to piping as close as possible to
connection point.
Direct Frontal mounting or mounting with brackets possible.
Maintenance
NOTE: Ensure the air supply is completely stopped. It is not necessary to remove
the FR from the pipeline for repairs.
Cleaning
All FRs should be cleaned periodically. The time between cleanings will
vary depending on the medium and service conditions. The most common part
that requires cleaning is the filter element.
Use running water for regular cleaning or a mild detergent for cleaning the
filter element. Do not use diluted acids, strong detergents or corrosive chemicals.
For auto drain version clean the filter ring periodically.
Causes of Improper Operation
Incorrect pressure: Check upstream pressure. Pressure to FR must be within
range specified on nameplate.
Excessive Leakage: Disassemble FR and clean all parts. If parts are worn or
damaged, install a complete ASCO Spare Parts kit.
Manual drain operation:
Hold the knurling face of drain with fingers & rotate it to the anti-clockwise
direction looking from top to unscrew the manual drain to purge out the water
that accumulated in the bowl. After draining out, screw the manual drain back
to its original position & ensure proper working of AFR.
Earthing:
The earth is connected to the unit or to the combination of conditioning units by
the downstream and upstream use of metal pipes connected to the earth. If the
pipes are non-conductive, earth connection should be performed by the assembly
and/or fixing devices adapted to the ATEX products.
Automatic draining:
Auto drain provides hassle free draining of equipment which purge out the water
accumulated in the bowl automatically. It also provides manual drain feature
integrated with automatic drain. Anti-clockwise to drain & clockwise to close
drain when looking from top view.
