Introduction SST00301
001 WWW.STUPIDSIMPLE.TOOLSSST003
The SST MEGAFLOW is a mega-tough 3-Stage
shop air filter & regulator with a aluminum
monoblock body designed to last a lifetime.
With an incredibly high Flow Rate of up to
6000L/min, it filters up to 0.01 micron. It
removes nearly all moisture, aerosols, dust
and foreign particles from your compressed
air to keep your tools running longer.
Stage 1 | Sintered Filter 5 Micron
Brass Filter which lasts longer than PE filters.
Removes 95% of the moisture, oil, and debris
particles up to 5micron.
Stage 2 | Coalescing Filter 0.1 Micron
High Quality Coalescing material. Removes
99.99% of the moisture, moisture vapor and
oil particles up to 0.01 micron
Stage 3 | Desiccant Filter 0.01 Micron
Diuse air to use desiccant beads eciently
dries out the rest of the humidity and
regulates the outlet air.

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.

Health and Safety Warnings
3. Use & Care
a. Do not force MEGAFLOW to perform beyond its rated power
output or temperature capabilities. Use the correct 3D printer
for your application. The correct 3D printer 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 3D printer’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.

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.
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.
