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
