Warning
Installation
1. Install Air Drying System as close as possible to the point where the air is being used.
2. Install main shut-off valve (part no. 22695) upstream of air system to allow maintenance of the unit.
3. Install system with air flow through filters in the direction noted on top of units.
4. Minimum 1/2 in. npt piping is recommended. Avoid using many fittings, couplings, etc. that restrict air flow.
5. Maximum operating pressure and operating temperature of system is: 160 psi (1.1 MPa, 11 bar) and 150°F (65°C).
Relieve the pressure when you stop spraying and
before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.

Operation
After the system is installed and ready to use:
1. Attach air hose(s) to outlet valve (part no. 34700).
2. Open main shut-off valve upstream of system.
3. Adjust regulator to desired setting by turning T-handle adjusting screw in or out.
4. Open outlet valve (part no. 34700) to supply air to spray guns or tool being used.
5. With air flowing, readjust air pressure at regulator if necessary.
6. Be sure to turn off unit when not in use.
Maintenance
1. Check system at least once per shift to ensure proper drainage.
2. Before performing maintenance on system, close main shut-off valve located upstream. Bleed off residual air in
system.

Air Filter w/Overnight Drain (Part
No. 22601)
Maintenance
To maintain maximum filtering efficiency and to avoid
excessive pressure drop, the filter must be kept clean.
Bowl drainage is automatic with the overnight drain;
however, manual draining can also be done by removing
the bowl. A visible coating of dirt on the filter element
surface or an excessive pressure drop is an indication
that cleaning is necessary.
Cleaning
To clean, it is not necessary to remove the complete filter
from the line. Disassembly is simple and does not require
tools. Before disassembly, shut off the air supply and
depressurize filter. Clean all parts with cleaning solvent
and blow out filter body before reassembly. Wash filter
element in cleaning solvent and blow out from the inside.
Overnight Drain
The overnight drain (part no. 22631) is simple in design
and operation. When the filter bowl is pressurized, the
piston travels down against the spring and closes the
drain opening. When the bowl is depressurized (i.e.:
overnight when system is shut down), the spring lifts the
piston from the seal allowing the bowl to drain.
NOTE: The overnight drain can be operated manually at
anytime by pushing the piston stem up.

Coalescer w/Overnight Drain
(Part No. 22605)
Installation
It is always recommended that a SHARPE air filter be
installed upstream of the coalescing filter to remove 5
micron and larger size particles and separate large
droplets of moisture from the air line.
Maintenance
Never let the liquid level in the bowl reach the base of the
coalescing element.
Cleaning
To clean, it is not necessary to remove the complete filter
from the line. Disassembly is simple and does not
require tools. Before disassembly, shut off the air supply
and depressurize coalescer. Clean all parts with
cleaning solvent and blow out body before reassembly.
Replace coalescing element (part no. U23075).
Pressure Drop Indicator
The differential pressure drop indicator on this unit is
designed to provide early detection of a clogged
coalescing filter element. As the filter element becomes
clogged the red indicator will start to rise while air is
flowing through the unit. When the pressure drop across
the element reaches 10-12 psi (0.07-0.08 MPa, 0.7-0.8
bar) the red indicator will be in full view and the element
should be replaced. Failure to replace the element when
the pressure drop exceeds 10 psi (0.07 MPa, 0.7 bar)
will affect your air quality and tool efficiency.
Overnight Drain
The overnight drain (part no. 22631) is simple in design
and operation. When the filter bowl is pressurized, the
piston travels down against the spring and closes the
drain opening. When the bowl is depressurized (i.e.
overnight when system is shut down), the spring lifts the
piston from the seal allowing the bowl to drain.
NOTE: The overnight drain can be operated manually at
anytime by pushing the piston stem up.

(Part No. 22604)
Maintenance
If the air supply is kept clean, this regulator will provide
long periods of uninterrupted service. Erratic regulator
operation or loss of regulation is most always due to dirt
in the diaphragm area and cleaning is in order.
Cleaning
Depressurize regulator, remove bottom plug, spring
valve, and diaphragm. Clean parts with denatured
alcohol, wipe off seat and blow out body with
compressed air. Reassemble parts as a unit and screw
into regulator before tightening bottom plug Make sure
disc is in center hole in body. Should regulator continue
to malfunction, obtain diaphragm/valve repair kit (part
no. 22680) and replace parts provided.
