D. Installing Optional Air Filter Kits
Additional filtering is recommended when using air from
a compressor to ensure that moisture and debris from the
supply hose does not enter the torch. Although the Regu-
lator has a filter, optional filter kits are recommended for
improved filtering.
1. Optional Single-Stage Air Filter Kit
This optional in-line air filter kit for use on com-
pressed air shop systems is highly effective at remov-
ing moisture and particulate matter from the air
stream to at least 0.85 microns.
NOTE
For a secure seal, apply thread sealant to the fit-
ting threads, according to the maker's instructions.
Do Not use Teflon tape as a thread sealer, as small
particles of the tape may break off and block the
small gas passages in the torch. Connect the gas
supply as follows:
a. Attach the Single-Stage Filter Hose to the
Regulator / Filter Assembly inlet port as
shown.
b. Attach the Single-Stage Filter Assembly to the
filter hose.
c. The illustration shows typical fittings as an
example. Other fittings may be used. Install
the fittings and tighten.

ture and contaminants to at least 5 microns.

For a secure seal, apply thread sealant to the fit-
ting threads according to manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Do Not use Teflon tape as a thread sealer as
small particles of the tape may break off and block
the small gas passages in the torch.
b. Install the two stage filter hose in the inlet port
of the Regulator / Filter Assembly, as shown
below.
