In-line water traps/filters are necessary to separate water and oil from the airflow during the air compression process.
A regulator is combined with the filter to increase or decrease the pressure.
A pressure gauge indicates the set pressure.
The lubricator atomizes and mixes pneumatic oil with the compressed air to
lubricate air tools.
Visible arrows are on the outer body of the casing that indicate the direction of installation to
correspond with the direction of airflow.
Drain: Manual
A push-in fitting is located on the drain to allow fluid to drain to a central point via PU tubing (not included).
Do not use a lubricator in line when using a spray gun.

Filter/Water trap/Moisture separator:
The function of a filter is to separate moisture and other contaminants from
the air. There are filters with different micron size filters. The finer the
micron, the cleaner the air, but also consider that it adds restriction to the
airflow.
Some filters feature a zero pressure auto drain.
In sequence of installation, the filter is always fitted first.
Regulator:
The function of a regulator is to either increase or decrease the desired air
pressure. Air tools and equipment require different air pressures to function
optimally.
If a filter is present in the installation, the regulator is always fitted
after it. Sensitive to pressure equipment/air tools may need a regulator close
to it.
Lubricator:
The function of a lubricator is to atomize fine droplets of pneumatic oil to
be mixed with compressed air. This lubricates internal components of some
equipment and air tools. Not all power tools require a lubricator, for example
spray guns or air dusters.
The position of a lubricator needs to be within 15m of the air tool's usage
and always after the filter. If fitted wrong way round, the filter will filter
out the pneumatic oil from the lubricator.
Combinations:
A filter, regulator and lubricator can be configured into one unit, called an
FRL unit. This unit is ideal for use with air tools that require lubrication.
A filter and regulator can be configured into one unit, called an FR unit.
This unit can be used with air tools/equipment that don't need lubrication.
Important: Combined units can't be separated. The regulator and filter share
the same construction.
