Safety and Offer of Sale: The document concludes with a safety guide and terms of sale, emphasizing the importance of understanding product limitations and proper usage.

Materials of Construction: The components of the filters and regulators are primarily made from 316 stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The filter element is made from borosilicate fiber, and seals are made from fluorocarbon.

Technical Information: The coalescing filters are designed to remove 99.97% of sub-micron particles from the air stream. Contaminated air passes through a borosilicate glass fiber membrane, where particles and liquid aerosols are removed. The clean air is then released into the pneumatic system. Regular draining of collected liquids is necessary to prevent re-entrainment.

Flow Characteristics: The document provides flow characteristics for different models, indicating pressure drop against flow rate for various primary pressures. This information is crucial for selecting the appropriate filter or regulator based on system requirements.

Features: The filters and regulators are designed to handle corrosive environments and meet NACE specifications MR-01-75/ISO 15156. They offer high flow capacity and precise regulation, with options for manual or automatic drainage systems.

Specifications: The filters have a bowl capacity of 4.0 ounces and a filter rating of 0.01 micron. The regulators have a maximum pressure rating of 300 PSIG and operate within a temperature range of 0°F to 180°F, depending on the model.

Ordering Information: The document provides detailed ordering information, including part numbers for different configurations and options, such as port size, type, and additional features like sight gauges and panel mount nuts.

Warnings and Cautions: Users are cautioned against exceeding maximum pressure ratings and connecting regulators to bottled gas, as this can cause product rupture and serious injury.

Materials of Construction: The document specifies that the adjustment mechanism, springs, body, bonnet, tee handle, bottom plug, and poppet are made of 316 stainless steel, while the seals are made of fluorocarbon. The bonnet/knob for the R10 model is made of acetal.

Regulator Kits & Accessories: The document lists various kits and accessories for R10 and R11 regulators, including bonnet kits, gauges, panel mount brackets, nuts, pipe nipples, service kits, and springs with different pressure ranges.

Specifications: The gauge port is specified as 1/8 inch. The document provides detailed technical information on the operation of the regulator, explaining how the adjusting knob and control spring work together to regulate pressure.

Operation: The operation section describes the process of adjusting the knob to control the spring load, which in turn affects the diaphragm and valve poppet assembly, allowing for precise regulation of downstream pressure. It also explains the relieving function for excess pressure.

Features: The document highlights features such as stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance, a large diaphragm to valve area ratio for precise regulation, and high flow capacity. It also mentions compliance with NACE specifications and the availability of a low-temperature version.

Ordering Information: The document provides ordering information for different series and models, specifying adjustment types, port sizes, and material options. It includes warnings about product rupture and pressure ratings.

Flow Characteristics: The document includes flow characteristics for different models, showing pressure drop versus flow rate in both PSIG and bar units.

Pressure & Temperature Ratings: The document specifies maximum pressure ratings and operating temperature ranges for different models, emphasizing the need for dry air to prevent ice formation at low temperatures.

Specifications and Materials: The document outlines the materials used in various components such as Acetal Bonnet, Tee Handle, Bottom Plug, Poppet, and Seals, primarily made from 316 Stainless Steel and Fluorocarbon. It also lists regulator kits, drain kits, filter element kits, gauges, and other accessories with their respective part numbers.

Operation and Technical Information: The operation section describes the mechanism of adjusting the knob or Tee Handle to control air flow through the regulator. It explains the two-stage filtration process and how pressure is regulated and relieved. A note on low-temperature applications advises ensuring air supply is moisture-free to prevent ice formation.

Features and Ordering Information: The document highlights features such as stainless steel construction for corrosive environments, high flow capacity, and compliance with NACE specifications. It provides ordering information for different port types, sizes, and materials.

Flow Characteristics: A graph illustrates the relationship between pressure drop and flow rate for the L10-04DSS model, showing performance at various primary pressures.

Safety Guide: The safety guide emphasizes the importance of proper selection, installation, and use of pneumatic products to prevent accidents. It includes general instructions, product selection criteria, and assembly guidelines. Key points include ensuring fail-safe design, adhering to pressure and temperature ratings, and considering environmental factors.

Product Assembly and Installation Instructions: Instructions stress the need for careful inspection of components before assembly, ensuring correct style, size, and catalog number. It warns against using components that show signs of nonconformance.

Installation Instructions: The installation of Watts valves, FRLs, and vacuum components must adhere to the published instructions provided with each product or available online. The air supply must be moisture-free if temperatures can drop below freezing.

Maintenance and Replacement Instructions: A maintenance program is essential to extend the service life of valves, FRLs, and vacuum products. The frequency of inspections should be based on application severity and risk potential. Service instructions are available with each product or online. Lockout/tagout procedures must be followed during servicing. Immediate shutdown is required if air leakage, component damage, or improper function is observed. Routine maintenance includes cleaning and ensuring all guards are in place. Functional tests should be conducted before automatic operation. Service intervals should be based on past performance, standards, and risk of failure.

Terms and Conditions of Sale: All sales are governed by the terms stated, with payment due 30 days from delivery. The risk of loss passes to the buyer upon delivery to a carrier. The warranty covers defects for 18 months from shipment, with limitations on liability. Changes or cancellations require written acceptance by the seller. Special tooling remains the seller's property. Taxes are additional unless exempted by the buyer.
