Bowl Capacity: 130.1 ml
Maintenance
To maintain maximum filtering efficiency and to avoid excessive pressure drop, the filter bowl and
element must be kept clean. On standard filters, open drain cock (turn counter clockwise) periodically
and drain off any bowl accumulation before it reaches lever of lower baffle. Bowl drainage is automatic
in the automatic drain model, however, manual draining can also be done by removing the bowl.
A visible coating of dirt or condensate on the filter element surface or an excessive pressure drop
indicates cleaning is necessary.
cleaning
To clean, it is not necessary to remove filter from the line, disassembly is simple and does not require
tools. Before disassembly, shut off air supply and depressurize filter. Clean all parts except plastic bowl
and/or sight glass with alcohol and blow out filter body before reassembly. Wash filter element in alcohol
and blow out from the inside. Polycarbonate bowls or metal bowls with sight glass must be cleaned with
household soap only.
autoMatic drain
Auto drain filters are equipped with a float actuated device which automatically ejects liquid contaminates.
The auto drain can be installed by simply removing the flange ring and bowl and then the bowl drain cock.
Insert the auto drain in place of the removed drain cock and reassemble the unit in reverse order.
The automatic drain mechanism is operated by the pressure drop created as air flow is initiated or as
the air line is depressurized. In order to drain properly, there must be sufficient dynamic pressure drop
to trigger the drain mechanism. The automatic drain will not function with minimal flow and pressure
variations or on constant flow applications.

Port Size: 1/4 (F) NPT • 3/8 (F) NPT • 1/2 (F) NPT
Maximum Airflow at 100 PSI:
1/4: 100 SCFM

Maximum Working Pressure: 300 PSI
Working Temperature: 4 °C to 52 °C
Pressure Gauge Port Size: 1/4 (F) NPT
Pressure adjustMent
Clockwise turning of the adjusting screw increases the reduced or regulated pressure.
With relieving-type regulators the reduced pressure follows the adjustment of the screw,
with non-relieving regulators, adjustment for lower pressure will not be obtained until the pressure
system is "bled-off" or until air flow starts.
Maintenance
If the air supply is kept clean, the regulator should provide long periods of uninterrupted service.
Erratic regulator operation or loss of regulation is most always due to dirt in the disc area and cleaning is
in order.
cleaning
Depressurize regulator, remove bottom plug, spring and disc. Clean parts with denatured alcohol,
wipe off seat and blow out body with compressed air. Reassemble parts as a unit and screw into
regulator; before tightening bottom plug make sure disc is in center hole in body.
Polycarbonate bowls and sight domes, being transparent and tough, are ideal for use with Filters and
Lubricators. They are suitable for use in normal industrial environments, but should not be located
in areas where they could be subjected to direct sunlight, an impact blow, nor temperatures outside
of the rated range. As with most plastics, some chemicals can cause damage. Polycarbonate bowls
and sight domes should not be exposed to chlorinated hydro-carbons, ketones, esters and certain
alcohols. They should not be used in air systems where compressors are lubricated with fire-resistant
fluids such as phosphate ester and di-ester types. Metal bowls are recommended where ambient and/
or media conditions are not compatible with polycarbonate bowls. Metal bowls resist the action of
most such solvents, but should not be used where strong acids or bases are present or in salt laden
atmospheres. Consult the factory for specific recommendations where these conditions exist. tO CleAN
