INSTALLATION
Before installing, blow out pipe line to remove scale and other foreign matter. This unit has
DRYSEAL pipe threads: use pipe compound or tape sparingly to male threads only. Install filter/regulator in
pipe line so that air will flow in direction of arrow stamped on body. Install as near as possible to equipment
serviced. Filter/regulator must be installed with bowl in a vertical position.
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 or replacement is necessary.
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Before turning on the air supply, turn the adjusting knob counterclockwise until compression is released from
the control spring. Then turn on air supply and adjust regulator to desired secondary pressure by turning
adjusting knob/handle clockwise. This permits pressure to build up slowly, preventing any unexpected operation
of the valve, cylinders, tools, etc., attached to the line. Adjustment to desired secondary pressure can be made
only with primary pressure applied to the regulator.
To decrease regulator pressure setting, always reset from a pressure lower than the final setting desired.
For example, lowering the secondary pressure from 80 to 60 PSIG is best accomplished by dropping the
secondary pressure to 50 PSIG, then adjusting upward to 60 PSIG. Push the adjusting knob down
to lock the pressure setting.
CLEANINg (FILTER)
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.
CLEANINg (REgULATOR)
Shut off air supply and exhaust the primary and secondary pressure before disassembling regulator unit.
Lubricate parts with a mineral based oil/grease or silicone grease. DO NOT use synthetic oils/greases such as
esters.
Disengage the adjusting knob by pulling upward. Turn adjusting knob counterclockwise until the compression
is released from the pressure control spring. Unscrew the threaded collar and remove the bonnet poppet
assembly. Next, disassemble, clean with lint-free cloth, and carefully inspect all parts for wear and/or damage. If
replacement is necessary, use TOPRING repair kits. Lubricate o'ring and lip seals with grease. Install diaphragm
assembly into bonnet assembly. Then install bonnet assembly to body and tighten threaded collar hand tight
plus 1/4 turn. Turn on air supply and adjust to desired secondary pressure as described in the Pressure
Adjustment section. Check regulator for leakage. If leakage occurs, do not operate – conduct repairs again.

warning
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 POLYCARBONATE BOWLS USE MILD SOAP ANDWATER ONLY! DO NOT use cleansing
agents such as acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, toluene, etc., which are damaging
to this plastic. Metal bowl guards are recommended for all applications.
