b.Air Connection
Air connection to system
c.No air regulation is provided with a standard dryer. External regulation/filtration of 80 PSI (5.51 bars) must be provided. It is suggested that a filter/regulator/gauge (F/R/G) arrangement be added to the compressed air line just before the dryer connection. This is necessary to insure that correct and clean air pressure is achieved. The F/R/G is provided on dryers with the optional automatic door or the optional sprinkler circuit.
