6. Installation
6.1 Prerequisites
Installation details can be inuenced by unique aspects to each application’s location. Therefore, please pay
attention to the following general directions:
• Check the lter for damage. Do not install or put into use damaged lters.
• Depressurize the pipe before installation.
• Install lter in a vertical direction only, lter head (with gauge or gauge ports) on top.
• Pay attention to the ow direction: The threaded connection at the inlet side of the lter head is marked
with a raised step.
• Note the weight of the lter and install a support device if necessary. The device should be designed so
that it can bear the weight of the lter completely lled with liquid.
• Make sure that a pressure relief device is installed to prevent the maximum permissible limits (pressure
and temperature) from being exceeded.
• Install the lter at a point in the compressed air system where the temperature is lowest, keeping in mind
that if there is any water in the system the location’s temperature should not be below 35ºF.
• Provide sufcient space below the lter for lter element change out. See HX-Series dimensional data
listed in its product brochure.
6.2 Filter Installation
• The lter is supplied ready for operation. If additional accessories were ordered, they should be installed
before the housing itself is installed in the compressed air system.
• Depressurize the pipe section. Verify that the system has been depressurized using a gauge known to
be in good working order.
• Attach the wall mount kit for the specic size (sizes A thru C only) you are installing, if desired.
• If necessary combine up to 3 lters using the wall mount kit as well as modular connectors
(See Section 9 Accessories).
• Align the lter: the raised step at the threaded connection indicates the inlet side.
• Integrate the lter into the pipe. Make sure that there are no leaks and that the lter has been installed
exactly vertical.
• Pressurize the pipe section again and check the lter for leaks.
