AirCraft | Filter/Regulator/Lubricator 1/2″ with Auto Drain (HEC4010-04D)

In-line filter, regulator & lubricator 1/2″ BSP
In-line water traps/filters are necessary to separate water and oil from the airflow during the air compression process
A regulator is combined with the filter to increase or decrease the pressure
A pressure gauge indicates the set pressure
The lubricator atomizes and mixes pneumatic oil with the compressed air to lubricate air tools
Visible arrows are on the outer body of the casing that indicate the direction of installation to correspond with the direction of airflow
Drain:
Zero pressure drain
A push-in fitting is located on the drain to allow fluid to drain to a central point via PU tubing (not included)
Do not use a lubricator in line when using a spray gun
Filter/Water trap/Moisture separator
The function of a filter is to separate moisture and other contaminants from the air
There are filters with different micron size filters
The finer the micron, the cleaner the air, but also consider that it adds restriction to the airflow
Some filters feature a zero pressure auto drain
In sequence of installation, the filter is always fitted first
Regulator
The function of a regulator is to either increase or decrease the desired air pressure
Air tools and equipment require different air pressures to function optimally
If a filter is present in the installation, the regulator is always fitted after it
Sensitive to pressure equipment/air tools may need a regulator close to it
Lubricator
The function of a lubricator is to atomize fine droplets of pneumatic oil to be mixed with compressed air
This lubricates internal components of some equipment and air tools
Not all power tools require a lubricator, for example spray guns or air dusters
The position of a lubricator needs to be within 15m of the air tool’s usage and always after the filter
If fitted wrong way round, the filter will filter out the pneumatic oil from the lubricator
Combinations
A filter, regulator and lubricator can be configured into one unit, called an FRL unit
This unit is ideal for use with air tools that require lubrication
A filter and regulator can be configured into one unit, called an FR unit
This unit can be used with air tools/equipment that don’t need lubrication
Important: Combined units can’t be separated
The regulator and filter share the same construction
Features
Easy bowl removal and filter element replacement
Small design and easy installation
