! CAUTION
Polycarbonate bowls, 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 should not be exposed to chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones,
esters and certain alcohols. They should not be used in air systems where compressors
are lubricated with fire-resistant fluids such as phosphate ester and di-ester types.
Metal bowls are recommended where ambient and/or media conditions are not compatible
with polycarbonate bowls. Metal bowls resist the action of most such solvents, but should
not be used where strong acids or bases are present or in salt laden atmospheres.
Consult the factory for specific recommendations where these conditions exist.
TO CLEAN POLYCARBONATE BOWLS USE MILD SOAP AND WATER ONLY! DO
NOT use cleansing agents such as acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline,
toluene, etc., which are damaging to this plastic.
Bowl guards are recommended for added protection of polycarbonate bowls where chemical
attack may occur.

For more complete information on recommended application guidelines, see the Safety
Guide section of Pneumatic Division catalogs or you can download the Pneumatic
Division Safety Guide at: www.wilkersoncorp.com
WARNING: IF YOUR UNIT HAS A PLASTIC BOWL
1. DO NOT use plastic bowl units without a bowl guard installed.*
Plastic bowl units are sold only with bowl guards to minimize the
danger of flying fragments in the event of bowl failure. If this unit is in
service without a bowl guard installed, manufacturer's warranties are
void, and the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any
resulting loss. (*EXCEPT C04, B08 MODEL)
2. DO NOT install the unit where it will be subjected to temperatures
higher than 125°F (52°C).
3. DO NOT install the unit where it will be subjected to pressures higher
than 150 psig (10,3 bar).
4. CAUTION: Certain compressor oils, household cleaners, chemicals,

solvents, paints and fumes will attack plastic bowls and can cause
plastic bowl failure. See manufacturer's list shown elsewhere on this
sheet.
5. WHEN BOWL becomes dirty replace bowl or wipe only with a clean,
dry cloth.
6. DO NOT install on a compressed air line where the compressor is
lubricated with, or the air contains, a material that will attack plastic
bowls.
7. DO inspect plastic bowls to detect crazing, cracking, damage or
other deterioration. Immediately replace any crazed, damaged or
deteriorated bowl with a metal bowl or a new plastic bowl and metal
bowl guard.
8. IF A UNIT HAS BEEN IN SERVICE AND DOES NOT HAVE A
BOWL GUARD, ORDER ANOTHER ONE AND INSTALL BEFORE
PLACING BACK IN SERVICE.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILTERS /
REGULATOR COMBINATIONS
1. DO NOT install the unit until you have read this entire product
information sheet. If your unit has a plastic bowl, note the special
warning information that applies.
2. EXCEPT as otherwise specified by manufacturer, this product is
specifically designed for compressed air service, and use with any
other fluid (liquid or gas) is a misapplication. For example, use with or
injection of certain hazardous liquids or gases in the system (such
as alcohol or liquid petroleum gas) could be harmful to the unit or
result in a combustible condition or hazardous external leakage.
Before using with fluids other than air, or for non-industrial
applications, or for life support systems, consult manufacturer for
writtenapproval. Maximum pressure rating is 150 psig (10.3 bar)
for plastic bowls, and 200 psig (14 bar) for metal bowls.
Temperature range is 32°F to 125°F (0°C to 52°C) for plastic
bowls, and 32°F to 150° (0°C to 65.5° C) for metal bowls. [08/18/
28 Series—250 psig (17 bar) and 32°F to 150°F (0°C to 65.5°C)].
3. INSTALL as close as possible to point where air is being used.
4. INSTALL unit with air flowing through the body in direction indicated
by arrow.
5. INSTALL unit ahead of equipment that requires regulated pressure.
6. INSTALL unit ahead of equipment that requires filtered air.
7. INSTALL a Filter/Regulator that has the same size inlet and outlet
ports as the pipe line on which it will be mounted. Avoid using fittings,
couplings, etc., that restrict the airflow.
8. INSTALL unit in a vertical position.
