AIR FILTER DRAIN
AIR REGULATOR
AIR REGULATOR
Before installing any air line components, blow out the
pipe line to remove scale and other debris. Use pipe com-
pound or tape sparingly and only on male threads.
Install the components in the pipe line so the flow is in the
direction of the arrow stamped on the body.
Locate the air line component(s) as close as possible to
the equipment it serves.
Install the air filter upstream from the regulator and/or lu-
bricator.
To provide the user with a variety of assembly options, a
bleed–type master air valve is not included with FRL’s.
See Accessories on page 15 to order this valve. Another
bleed–type master air valve can be installed upstream
from the FRL to isolate it for servicing.
WARNING
Skin Injection Hazard
To reduce the risk of serious bodily
injury, including skin injection, splashing
fluid in the eyes or on the skin, or injury
from the pump starting unexpectedly, be
sure your system includes a
bleed–type master air valve.Install the
air valve between the FRL outlet and the
device the FRL is serving. When
relieving system air pressure, close the
bleed–type master air valve to fully
relieve air pressure.
Mounting Air Accessories
Use a bracket to mount the air accessories to a wall or
cart. Do not hang the accessories directly off the air mo-
tor inlet, which could be damaged from the weight and
operating stress.
Air Filter
Clean the air filter regularly to maximize filtering efficien-
cy and to avoid excessive pressure drop. Drain contami-
nants from the bowl before it reaches the baffle level.
Open the drain to drain the bowl or fully relieve pressure
and remove the bowl. Use household soap and water or
denatured alcohol for cleaning. Use compressed air to
blow out the filter body. Wash the filter element and blow
it out from the inside. Clean the sight glass thoroughly. Do
not leave solvent residue in the sight glass, which may at-
tack or weaken it. If the sight glass appears damaged by
the solvent, replace it immediately.
An automatic drain accessory, Part No. 106151, is avail-
able for most filters, except Model 110146. To install the
drain, fully relieve system pressure, remove the o–ring
and bowl. Remove the drain from the bowl and insert the
automatic drain in its place. Reassemble.
Regulator
The regulator reduces the air supply pressure to a speci-
fied, constant downstream pressure to maximize equip-
ment performance. Preset pressures can be locked in.
See manual 308167 or 308168 (supplied with the FRL’s)
for complete air regulator information.
Lubricator
The lubricator meters oil into the moving air stream to lu-
bricate air-operated motors. A manual adjustment in the
housing sets the oil drip rate into the air stream, which
can be monitored through a sight glass on most lubrica-
tors. One to two drops of oil a minute is a common adjust-
ment. Use Graco motor oil, part no. 202659. All lubrica-
tors, except Model 110148, can be refilled with the
system pressurized. However, ALWAYS relieve the sys-
tem pressure before removing the bowl for any reason.
