Wilkerson CB6 - Manual

Bowl guards are recommended for added protection of polycarbonate
bowls where chemical attack may occasionally occur.
! WARNING
To avoid polycarbonate bowl rupture that can cause personal injury or
property damage, do not exceed bowl pressure or temperature ratings.
Polycarbonate bowls have a 150 PSIG pressure rating and a maximum
temperature rating of 125°F.
WARNING
T o avoid unpredictable system behavior that can cause personal
injury and property damage:
• Disconnect electrical supply (when necessary) before installation,
servicing, or conversion.
• Disconnect air supply and depressurize all air lines connected
to this product before installation, servicing, or conversion.
• Operate within the manufacturer’s specified pressure,
temperature, and other conditions listed in these instructions.
• Medium must be moisture-free if ambient temperature is below
freezing.
• Service according to procedures listed in these instructions.
• Installation, service, and conversion of these products must be
performed by knowledgeable personnel who understand how
pneumatic products are to be applied.
• After installation, servicing, or conversion, air and electrical
supplies (when necessary) should be connected and the product

Filter / Regulator Model CB6B with
Variations and Accessories

Doc.# 83860000, ECN# 060135, Rev. 2
! CAUTION
Polycarbonate bowls, 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 should not be exposed to chlorinated
hydrocarbons, 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 diester 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 AND
WATER ONLY! DO NOT use cleansing agents such as acetone,
benzene, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, toluene, etc., which are
damaging to this plastic.
INSTALLATION
1. Refer to Warnings and Cautions.
2. Install as close as possible to where regulated air is needed. In system
with a cyclic demand, the regulator should be located upstream of
cycling device.
3. Install the unit with air flowing through the body in the direction
indicated by the arrow.
4. System piping should be same pipe size as regulator porting. Avoid
using fittlings, couplings etc., that restrict the airflow, unless maximum
flow is not needed.
5. Gauge ports (1/4") are provided in either side of the regulator body for
installation of a gauge or use as an additional outlet port. Plug unused
port(s).
6. Before turning on the supply air pressure, turn the adjusting knob
counterclockwise until there is no load on the regulating spring. Turn
on the supply air pressure and then turn the adjusting knob clockwise
until the desired secondary pressure is reached. When making a
change in pressure setting, always approach the desired pressure
from a lower one. When reducing from a higher to a lower setting, first
reduce to some pressure less than that desired and then increase to
the desired pressure.
7. Maximum pressure and temperature ratings for plastic bowls are 150
psig (10 bar) and 125°F (52°C); and for metal bowls, 200 psig (14 bar)
and 175°F (79°C).
MAINTENANCE
1. The regulator can be disassembled for servicing without removal from
line.
2. Occasionally remove bowl and bowl guard, baffle, element, adapter,
valve spring and valve assembly, and clean valve assembly, body and
valve seat.
3. BEFORE DISASSEMBLING-shut off air to regulator and bleed
upstream and downstream pressure to 0 psig.
4. IF UNIT WILL NOT REGULATE TO DESIRED PRESSURE, IF
PRESSURE BECOMES EXCESSIVE, OR IF UNIT LEAKS AT RELIEF
PORT - disassemble regulator and inspect diaphragm assembly
and rubber seat, valve stem and o-ring, and valve seat and o-ring
in regulator body for signs of wear. Replace damaged or worn parts.
Lubicate o-rings with Dow Corning 44 Silicone grease or equivalent
and reassemble.
5. WHEN REPLACING DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY- the RRP-96-213
Diaphragm assembly is a relieving type diaphragm.
