Instructions
CAUTION
Water and oil vapors will pass through these units and
could condense into liquid form downstream as air
temperature drops. Install an air dryer and an oil vapor
removal filter if water and oil vapors could have a
detrimental effect on the application.

WARNING
These products are intended for use in industrial
compressed air systems only. Do not use these products
where pressures and temperatures can exceed those listed
under Technical Data.
Polycarbonate plastic bowls can be damaged and
possibly burst if exposed to such substances as certain
solvents, strong alkalies, compressor oils containing ester-
based additives or synthetic oils. Fumes of these
substances in contact with the polycarbonate bowl,
externally or internally, can also result in damage. Clean
with warm water only.
Use metal bowl in applications where a plastic bowl
might be exposed to substances that are incompatible with
polycarbonate.
Before using these products with fluids other than air, for
nonindustrial applications, or for life-support systems
consult Norgren.
