PneumaticPlus Standard & High Flow Filter-Regulators, or “Piggybacks” combine the functions of both a filter and regulator into one unit. Piggybacks are compact and most effective when space is constrained. Bowl options (Metal or Polycarbonate) as well as drain options (Auto or Manual) are available. SAW Series Filters use a 10 Micron Element as the standard element, and offer 2, 5, 20 and 40 Micron Elements as available options. Also Piggyback units with a Coalescing Filter element are available: SAWM with a 0.1 Micron fiber element and SAWD with a 0.01 Micron fiber element. Please search PneumaticPlus “SAW PneumaticPlus” in the Amazon Search Box to see all available options. Pneumatic devices are designed to work at a certain pressure. Most devices will operate at pressures in excess of that recommended. However, operating at higher pressures can cause excess torque, force and wear, and can waste air supply. The best operation and life of the device can be obtained by using the proper pressure level. A regulator is used to reduce and maintain the pressure at a level suitable for the device.

DO NOT INSTALL A POLYCARBONATE BOWL IN PRESSURES THAT EXCEED 150 PSI OR WHERE THERE IS A PRESENCE OF SOLVENTS HARMFUL TO POLYCARBONATE.
How It Works First, the air enter the particulate filter, which has 10 micron cleanable Polyethylene element. In this stage, corrosive moisture, pipe scale, dirt and rust are removed from air line protecting the precision part in the regulator. During Stage 2, fine filtration takes place. Here, 99.7 percentage of oil aerosols and microscopic particles down to 0.3 micron absolute are removed from the air. Third Stage, the air enter a high-performance regulator, which reduces primary pressure to a desired pressure setting. Installation Install units so the airflow is in the direction “IN-OUT” as indicated by arrow on the head of the unit. Install filter first in line of additional units such as regulators or lubricators, and as close as possible to the pneumatic tools or appliances being serviced. Unit must be installed in parallel from floor, downstream position for proper function. Do not install polycarbonate bowl in pressure that exceeds 150 PSI or where there is a presence of solvents harmful to polycarbonate. In these cases, use a metal bowl. The Unit can dis-assemble or assemble using a Phillips-head screwdriver or Allen wrench. An insert feature allows simple installation and removal in any location without disturbing the existing piping arrangement. The regulator can be mounted in either up or down position. This unique design allows unlimited adaptation to air preparation systems. Unit will permit use of standard size pipe nipples. Operation & Adjustments Filtering out of dirt and foreign particles, and the separation of moisture is automatic with air flow. There are no moving parts and no adjustments are necessary. Accumulated sludge and moisture should be drained off. Sediment should not be permitted to fill above the lower baffle. Wash filter element at intervals with methylene chloride or similar cleansing fluid to maintain filtering efficiency.
