Wilkerson 12 Series Bowl / Drain Kits - Manual

! 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.
!
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.
Application Limits
These products are intended for use in general purpose
compressed air systems only.
