Fluid: Compressed air
Maximum pressure:
Guarded transparent bowl: 10 bar (150 psig)
Metal bowl: 17 bar (250 psig)
Operating temperature*:

Installation
1. Install unit vertically in air line -
• vertically (bowl down),
• with air ow in direction of arrow on body,
• upstream of regulators, lubricators, and cycling
valves,
• as close as possible to the air supply when
used as a main line filter,
• as close as possible to the device being
serviced when used as a final filter.
2. Before assembling the basic unit into the yoke
the port seal o-rings should be lightly
smeared with o-ring grease.
3. Locate clamp ring under lugs on top of yoke,
oer basic unit into yoke with directional
arrows correctly aligned (an interference fit
prevents assembly if misaligned) before
engaging and fully tightening the clamp ring.
4. Turn bowl or bowl guard fully clockwise into
body before pressurizing. Lock symbols on
body and bowl guards must align.
5. Auto-drain units may be fitted with a short
drain pipe and connector, minimum 5 mm
bore, to the G1⁄8 bottom outlet.

Servicing
1. Open manual drain to expel accumulated
liquids. Keep liquids below bae (53).
2. To operate automatic drain manually, lift
operating pin in bottom outlet with a blunt
rod.
3. Clean or replace filter element when dirty.
Disassembly
1. Shut o inlet pressure. Reduce pressure in
inlet and outlet lines to zero.
2. For ease of maintenance the unit can be re
moved from the yoke by unscrewing the
clamp ring, which will jack the unit out
downwards.
3. Lift and turn the filter bow counterclockwise
and remove with bowl o-ring.
4. Disassemble in general accordance with
the item numbers on exploded view. Do not
remove the drains or the service indicator
unless replacement is necessary. Remove
and replace only if they malfunction.
Cleaning
1. Partial cleaning of the filter element is possible
by washing the element in soapy water and
blowing out thoroughly with compressed air.
Replacement by a clean element is
recommended. Clean plastic bowl and lens
(45) with warm water only. Clean other parts
with warm water and soap.
2. Rinse and dry parts. Blow out internal
passages in body with clean, dry compressed
air.
3. Inspect parts. Replace those found to be
damaged. Replace plastic bowl with a metal
bowl if plastic bowl shows signs of cracking
or cloudiness.
Assembly
1. Lubricate o-rings with o-ring grease.
2. Assemble the unit as shown on the exploded
view.
3. Torque Table

Item N-m (Inch-Pounds)
55 (Filter guide) 2,0 ... 2,7 max (18 ... 25)
4. Assemble bae (53), contact + 1/4 turn.
5. Turn bowl or bowl with guard fully clockwise
into body.
Caution
Water vapor will pass through these units and
could condense into liquid form downstream as
air temperature drops. Install an air dryer if water
condensation could have a detrimental eect on
the application.

WARNING
These products are intended for use in industrial
compressed air systems only. Do not use these
products where pressures and temperatures can
exceed those listed under Technical Data.
Polycarbonate plastic bowls can be damaged
and possibly burst if exposed to such
substances as certain solvents, strong
alkalies, compressor oils containing ester-based
additives or synthetic oils. Fumes of these
substances in contact with the polycarbonate
bowl, externally or internally, can also result in
damage. Clean with warm water only.
Use metal bowl in applications where a plastic
bowl might be exposed to substances that are
incompatible with polycarbonate.
Before using these products with fluids other
than air, for non industrial applications, or for
life-support systems consult Norgren.
Use in potentially explosive atmospheres
Code of device according EC
directive 94/9/EC Ex II 2 GD c TX
• Only non-ammable gasese to be used as a
medium.
• Surface temperature dependant on process
fluid temperature and ambient temperature
must be below the ignition temperature of the
flammable gas or dust.
• Earth unit and/or pipework to avoid
electrostatic discharge.
• Precautions should be taken to prevent hazard
from adiabatic compression.
• Use wet cloth for cleaning.
• Protect the unit from object falling onto it.
• Avoid contact with corrosive environment.
• For servicing the unit it is recommended to
carry out this work outside of the danger
zone.
• For details of ignition hazard assessment
contact Norgren.
