4 Features and benefits By utilizing a modular lockout valve the user can close off the downstream air supply for maintenance and pressure isolation. Units are threaded for direct plumbing or can be installed in the modular arrangement. Use of modular threaded pipe adapters allow for ease of service by allowing a unit to be quickly removed from the air line. Adapters can be used to pipe different thread sizes in the plumbing setup. Optional filter life indicator works off of pressure differential to show a visible alert when the filter needs replacement. A T-bracket wall mount is standard on...

6 Overview Filters Regulators ARO-Flo compressed air filters are designed to remove airborne solid and liquid contaminants. Filters can be ordered with different elements, including coalescing models which are capable of removing oil aerosols and particles down to 0.3 micron. Standard filters are sold with 5-micron elements; 40-micron elements can be purchased and installed separately. Air line regulators provide controlled, consistent air pressure as required for specific pneumatic equipment connected to the air system. All ARO-Flo regulators are offered with a standard adjustment range of 0...

7 Selection When selecting an FRL or individual filter, regulator and lubricator units, the air consumption of the tools or equipment to be serviced should be correlated with the flow capacity of the FRL. ARO Filters, Regulators and Lubricators are designed to flow in excess of that indicated in the maximum recommended flow table shown below. This table gives recommended flows for pipe sizes at listed pressures and should be used as a guide in sizing piping and equipment for compressed air systems. Maximum recommended air flow (scfm) thru ANSI standard weight Schedule 40 pipe Applied Nominal...
