Product catalog summary
Overview: The Parker-Watts QIX Series catalog details air preparation units essential for pneumatic systems, including filters, regulators, and lubricators, ensuring efficient operation and maintenance.
QIX Modular FRL System: Designed for high-performance environments, the QIX system offers high flow rates up to 250 SCFM with a modular design for easy adaptation to various pipe sizes, reducing downtime and inventory needs.
Particulate & Coalescing Filters: Available in particulate (F20) and coalescing (F21) configurations, these filters feature metal bowls with sight gauges, designed for heavy-duty applications with minimal pressure drop and excellent water removal efficiency.
Regulators: The QIX regulators (R20 and R21) are piston-operated for high flow performance, featuring secondary aspiration and a balanced poppet for quick response and accurate pressure regulation.
Lubricators: Provide consistent lubrication under variable flow conditions, fillable under pressure, with a bypass valve system and removable adjusting knob for tamperproof operation.
Accessories and Kits: Includes automatic float drains, bowl kits, combination connectors, and port insert kits to enhance the QIX system's functionality and adaptability.
Safety and Maintenance: Emphasizes proper selection and use of components to prevent injury and damage, advising against using polycarbonate bowls in certain chemical environments.

Polycarbonate bowls and sight dome, being transparent and tough, are ideal for use with Filters and Lubricators. They are suitable for use in normal industrial environments, but should not be located in areas where they could be subjected to direct sunlight, an impact blow, nor temperatures outside of the rated range. As with most plastics, some chemicals can cause damage. Polycarbonate bowls and sight dome should not be exposed to chlorinated hydro-carbons, ketones, esters and certain alcohols. They should not be used in air systems where compressors are lubricated with fire-resistant fluids...

Technical Specifications – R20, R21 Technical Information Flow Characteristics Secondary Pressure - PSIG REGULATOR PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT – The working range of knob adjustment is designed to permit outlet pressures within their full range. Pressure adjustment beyond this range is also possible because the knob is not a limiting device. This is a common characteristic of most industrial regulators, and limiting devices may be obtained only by special design. For best performance, regulated pressure should always be set by increasing the pressure up to the desired setting. Product rupture can cause...
