Installation
Operations should be performed only by qualified personnel. Never operate with
installation under pressure. The user is responsible to ensure that the filter will never
operate at pressure exceeding the nominal values. Eventual over-pressure could be
dangerous and hazardous to the operator and the equipment.
The filter assembly and installation procedures are as follows:
• If provided, install the pressure drop indicator or the Differential Pressure Gauge
(optional) on the filter head.
• Connect the filter head to the compressed gas piping and check that the gasflow
corresponds to the direction of the arrow positioned on the filter head cap.
• Clean accurately the piping and the filter head outlets, remove any shaving, slaver or
scrap from tooling.
• Lubricate the O-ring and the sealing surfaces of the filter head and cartridge, use
multipurpose grease (SILICONE FREE).
• Fit the filter cartridge on the filter head by screwing it in the housing. Tightness is
ensured by one o-ring.
• Fit the filter bowl and tight it accurately.
• Filters must always be installed in a vertical position with sufficient space around. The
minimum distance (D in the technical data table) has to be assured under the filter
bowl, which is necessary for filter cartridge changing.
• Stick the adhesive label showing the month and year for the next filtering element
change (max. one year) on the filter bowl.
• Slowly pressurize the installation and check it for gas leakage.
