Coalescing FIlter Coalescing Filter
w/ Manual Drain w/ Auto Drain
Installation
1. The filter should be installed with reasonable accessibility for
service whenever possible – repair service kits are available.
Keep pipe or tubing lengths to a minimum with inside clean
and free of dirt and chips. Pipe joint compound should be used
sparingly and applied only to the male pipe – never into the
female port. Do not use PTFE tape to seal pipe joints – pieces
have a tendency to break off and lodge inside the unit, possibly
causing malfunction. Also, new pipe or hose should be installed
between the filter and equipment being protected.
2. The upstream pipe work must be clear of accumulated dirt and
liquids.
3. Select a filter location as close as possible to the equipment
being protected and upstream of any pressure regulator.
4. A 5 micrometer pre-filter is recommended to protect the high
efficiency filter and to prolong the element's life.
5. Install filter so that air flows in the direction of arrow on body.
6. Install filter vertically with bowl drain mechanism at the bottom.
Free moisture will thus drain into the sump “quiet zone” at the
bottom of the bowl.
