B07

● Compact design

● Full flow gauge ports

● Low torque, non-rising adjusting knob

● Snap action knob locks pressure setting when

pushed in

● Standard relieving models allow reduction of outlet

pressure even when the system is dead-ended

● Protects air operated devices by removing liquid and

solids contaminants

● Screw-on bowl reduces maintenance time

● Can be disassembled without the use of tools or

removal from the air line
