Installation
Installation
1. Before installing air line components, blow out the
pipe line to remove debris. Be sure air to the regula-
tor is clean. Erratic operation or loss of regulation is
usually caused by dirt in the regulator.
3. Install air shut-off valve 288798 upstream from the
air system to isolate it for service.
4. Install system so air flows through filters in the direc-
tion noted on top of filter.
2. Install the Air Drying System as close as possible to
the equipment it serves. Use template 289185, pro-
vided, to position system.
5. A minimum 1/2 in. npt piping is recommended.
Avoid using too many fittings, couplings, etc., which
will restrict air flow.

Operation
Operation
WARNING
Do not exceed the Maximum Incoming Air Pressure
of the equipment. Over pressurizing can cause
component rupture and serious injury.
Model 234401, Series D
Automatic Drain
1. Attach air hose(s) to air regulator outlet valve
289165.
The automatic drain is equipped with a float actuated
device which automatically ejects liquid contaminates
under pressure.
2. Attach air hose to main shut-off valve 288798.
3. Open main shut-off valve 288798.
Coalescer Pressure Drop Indicator
4. Turn the T-hand adjusting screw in or out to adjust
regulator to desired setting.
The differential pressure drop indicator provides early
detection of a clogged coalescing filter element. As the
filter element becomes clogged, the red indicator starts
to rise while air is flowing through the unit. When the
pressure drop across the element reaches 10-12 psi
(69-83 kPa, 0.7-0.8 bar), the red indicator will be in full
view, and the element should be replaced. Failure to
replace the element when the pressure drop exceeds
10 psi (69 kPa, 0.7 bar) will affect your air quality and
tool efficiency.
5. Open outlet valve 289165 to supply air to spray
guns or tool.
6. With air flowing, readjust air pressure regulator if
necessary.
Model 24M178, Series B
1. Attach air hose(s) to outlet elbow fitting 120375.
2. Attach air hose to inlet elbow fitting C19024.
3. Open main shut-off valve 288798.

Maintenance and Repair
Pressure Relief Procedure
Coalescer 234397, Series B
WARNING
NOTE: It is recommended that Air Filter 234402 be
installed upstream of the coalescing filter to
remove 3 micron and larger size particles and sep-
arate large droplets of moisture from the air line.
To avoid injury, relieve air and fluid pressure before
checking, cleaning, or repairing the equipment.
CAUTION
The following is a basic pressure relief procedure. Be
sure to follow the specific pressure relief procedure in
your spray gun and/or fluid supply equipment manuals.
Never let the liquid level in the bowl reach the base of
the coalescing element.
1. Close the main air shut-off valve.
See Manual 309919 for operation, cleaning, and parts
information.
2. Trigger the gun or dispense valve and open any
drain valves to relieve pressure.
Maintenance and Repair
•
Relieve the pressure before cleaning, checking
or repairing. Follow Pressure Relief Proce-
dure, above.
•
•
Check system at least once per shift to ensure
proper drainage.
A supply of low flow/low humidity air will pro-
vide longer desiccant life.
Air Filter 234402, Series B
To maintain maximum filtering efficiency and avoid
excessive pressure drop, the filter must be kept clean.
See Manual 309919 for cleaning and parts information.

5. Refill bowl with new or regenerated desiccant. See
Desiccant Changeout. Desiccant Housing 234404
holds 5 lb. of desiccant.
Desiccant Housing 234404,
Series B
6. Reassemble bowl to cover, making sure that o-ring
289186 is in place in cover.
NOTE: Always install a moisture filter, to remove
bulk fluids, and a coalescing filter, to remove oil,
upstream of the desiccant housing. Desiccant
coated with oil will not absorb moisture.
289189
288794
Desiccant Changeout
NOTE: Desiccant beads are non-toxic and
non-flammable.
The desiccant gradually changes color from blue to pink,
indicating it has absorbed moisture to the saturation
point and needs to be regenerated or replaced.

To regenerate Silica Gel desiccant, heat desiccant
for 4 hours at 275°F (135°C).
To replace desiccant, order desired part no. from the

a. Place a blow gun at the top of the tube and blow
air through the flow tube.
b. If element replacement is needed: disassemble
flow tube from the bowl by removing the end
cap and nut from the bottom of the bowl.
c. Turn the flow tube (hand tight) counter clock-
wise to remove it, then replace elements.
d. Reassemble in reverse order.
