DO NOT USE MEGAFLOW IN SYSTEMS WITH THESE CHEMICALS.
Polycarbonate is a tough and transparent polymer, but is
susceptible to chemical damage from compressors lubricated
with synthetic oils, or oils containing phosphate esters or
chlorinated hydrocarbons. Exposure to these chemicals can
cause hazing, cracking, or explosions.

Safety
Health and Safety Warnings
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in mechanical failure, pneumatic explosion,
and/or serious injury.
1. Work Area Safety
a. Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b. Do not operate manufacturing machines, CNC or otherwise, in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Machinery may create heat or sparks
which may ignite dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating machinery.
Distractions can cause you to lose control of the machine.
2. Personal Safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense
when operating machinery. Do not use a machinery while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating machinery may result
in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, gloves,
or protective clothing appropriate to the conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c. Do not use damaged or worn pneumatic hoses or connectors.
Damaged components risk catastrophic failure at high
operating pressures

3. Use & Care
a. Do not force MEGAFLOW to perform beyond its rated power
output or temperature capabilities. Use the correct MEGAFLOW
for your application. The correct MEGAFLOW will do the job
better and safer at the parameters for which it was designed.
b. Service should never be performed without first disconnecting
the air input from MEGAFLOW. If the air input cannot be
physically disconnected, the air supply should be locked-out
and tagged-out by the technician.
c. Install the MEGAFLOW out of the reach of children or animals,
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with MEGAFLOW or these
instructions to operate the system. High pressure pneumatics
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
d. Maintain your MEGAFLOW. Check for misalignment or binding of
filter components, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may aect the MEGAFLOW’s operation. If damaged, have
replace the aected components before use. Accidents can
result from poorly maintained air regulator systems.
e. Use MEGAFLOW, pneumatic tools, and accessories, etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of a
high pressure air regulator for operations dierent from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
4. Service
a. Have your MEGAFLOW serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. Doing so will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Operations & Maintenance
Filter Info and Maintenance
SST00304
008
During all maintenance procedures, air input should be
physically disconnected to prevent injury or damage.
IMPORTANT
Stage 1 — Sintered Filter
Removes 95% of the moisture, oil, and debris particles up to 5 micron.
REPLACE WHEN: With air input applied, the MEGAFLOW Filter
indicator shows RED.
• The element should be replaced every 6 months to 1 year,
depending on the use levels.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
1. Ensure air input has been disconnected from the unit
2. Remove the 1st stage Filter Canister Housing by unscrewing it from the MEGAFLOW
Manifold Body
3. Unscrew the Sintered Filter Flow Nut to allow the used Brass Sintered Filter Element
to fall
4. Place the new Brass Sintered Filter Element on top of the Sintered Filter Flow Nut,
with the O-ring in between, and screw onto the threaded post
a. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
5. Visually confirm that the filter is experiencing no misalignment
6. Install the replacement coalescing filter
a. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
7. Re-install the Filter Canister Housing
a. Ensure O-Ring is properly seated in the top lip groove
b. Hand Tighten Only

Stage 2 — Coalescing Filter
Removes 99.99% of the moisture, moisture vapor and oil particles up to
0.01 micron
REPLACE WHEN: Filter status indicator shows RED with input air
applied
• The element should be replaced every 6 months to 1 year,
depending on the use levels.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
1. Ensure air input has been disconnected from the unit
2. Remove the 2nd stage Filter Canister Housing by unscrewing it from
the MEGAFLOW Manifold Body
3. Remove the used coalescing filter by unscrewing it
4. Install the replacement coalescing filter
a. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
5. Re-install the Filter Canister Housing
a. Ensure O-Ring is properly seated in the top lip groove
b. Hand Tighten Only

Stage 3 — Desiccant Dryer
Diuses pressurized air through desiccant bead tower to extract
remaining the humidity.
REPLACE WHEN: The silica beads shift from blue to PINK
Operations & Maintenance
Filter Info and Maintenance
SST00304
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
1. Ensure air input has been disconnected from the unit
2. Remove the 3rd stage Filter Canister Housing by unscrewing it from the MEGAFLOW
Manifold Body
a. Keep the canister house vertical to avoid spilling desiccant
3. Remove the black flow blade from the top of the desiccant tube
4. While holding the desiccant tube against the canister housing, dump the silica beads
a. The beads can have their absorbency restored by baking them in the oven at
350F for about two hours or until they are blue again
5. Refill the desiccant tube using a funnel
a. Leave about 1” unfilled at the top to allow space for the regulator bottom cap
6. Re-install the black flow blade and O-rings
7. Re-install the Filter Canister Housing
a. Ensure O-Ring is properly seated in the top lip groove
b. Hand Tighten Only
8. Purge your outlet air for 1-3min at 60-100PSI
a. During transport and container transfer, the desiccant beads rub against
each other and wear down - creating a fine desiccant powder which must be
exhausted prior to use
b. Wear proper PPE during purge to protect against harm caused from high
pressure air and or inhalation of fine silica dust
Ensure you purge air after replacement!!!

Operations & Maintenance
Maintenance
SST00304
DRAIN STAGE 1 & STAGE 2 CANISTERS
Interval: Daily
Operation: Push in drain pins to drain collected condensate and fluids from the
canisters
READ FILTER HEALTH INDICATOR
Interval: Weekly
Operation: Observe the indicator when pressure is applied - any red shown indicates a
loss of coalescing filtering capability. A fully red indicator would indicate a completely
clogged and exhausted filter, requiring immediate replacement.
CLEAN STAGE 3 STAINLESS FILTERS
Interval: Annually
Operation: Remove the top and bottom stainless filters from the MEGAFLOW assembly,
and blow them clean of any desiccant particles using compressed air.
SERVICE FILTER ELEMENTS 
Interval: At a minimum, per stage
Stage 1: 6 months - 1 year
Stage 2: 6 months - 1 year
Stage 3: 1 month - 6 months

Troubleshooting
SST00304
PROBLEM: DRAINS LEAKING
SOLUTION: Move drain pins to ensure o-rings make a proper seal with
PROBLEM: AIR LEAKING FROM CANISTER TOP THREADS
SOLUTION: Check that O-ring at top of canister is not pinched or damaged
PROBLEM: POOR OUTPUT PERFORMANCE
SOLUTION: Ensure sintered filter isn’t clogged and exhausted
Observe Filter Health Indicator to determine if Coalescing filter
is clogged
Clean the stage 3 stainless filters of any desiccant particles
PROBLEM: DESICCANT LIFE TOO SHORT
SOLUTION: Ensure compressor tank drain is actuating every pump cycle
Ensure MEGAFLOW is not plumbed with air intake at a low
point, allowing condensate to drain into the input
Install refrigerated air dryer before MEGAFLOW

WARNING

Assumption of Liability
Air Powered Machinery and Pneumatic Equipment are useful
tools when installed with STUPID SIMPLE TOOLS® products
in accordance with proper safety protocols by eld
professionals. When congured with a high pressure air
compressor, the MEGAFLOW is a powerful industrial product
designed for installation and conguration by manufacturers
and professionals and is inherently dangerous. By installing
and/or operating a MEGAFLOW Air lter and Regulator,
you agree to take responsibility for any and all risks
associated with the installation and operation of the
MEGAFLOW Air Filter and Regulator and any associated up or
down-line equipment.
US and International Patents Pending
Pressurized air generation requires compressing
multiple cubic feet of air, and the ambient humidity
in it, resulting in substantial water condensation
in high humidity areas. MEGAFLOW IS NOT DESIGNED TO
TAKE THE PLACE OF AIR DRYER SYSTEMS.
