E200 & E100 SERIES FILTER
ELEMENTS
(FOR F200 & F100 SERIES FILTERS- ALL GRADES)
PRODUCT PURPOSE & FUNCTION:
Van Air's E200 & E100 series filter elements provide long service life as well as ease of maintenance. With push on style
elements, there are no tie rods, gaskets, nuts and bolts. Both the particulate and coalescing elements will operate efficiently for
extended periods of time until a pressure drop of 10 PSID has occurred. Our differential pressure indicators and gauges can visually
alert when element changeout is needed. The activated carbon elements (RD grade) must be changed to suit specific applications,
or at least every 6 months.

ELEMENT REPLACEMENT
NING
TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION FROM EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE DROP AND MINIMIZE CHANCE OF CONTAMINANT CARRYOVER, INSTALL NEW ELEMENT WHEN
PRESSURE DROP REACHES 10 PSID (EXCEPT GRADE
RD). INSTALL NEW RD ELEMENTS WHEN HYDROCARBON VAPORS ARE FIRST DETECTED DOWNSTREAM OR
AT LEAST EVERY 6 MONTHS.
Close inlet and outlet shutoff valves (and open bypass valve
1.
if provided), or lock out all compressed air supply to filter
housing.
On units with auto drain valve, push a 3/16" allen wrench into
2.
the ADM-2 or ADM-2-2 outlet (See Figure 1) to open valve.
(Note: stand clear of outlet, liquids may be released.) Leave
valve open until all pressure is out of the filter housing. On units
with a manual drain valve, stand clear and turn manual valve
(petcock) until full open. Leave valve open until all pressure is
out of filter housing and bowl is removed.

After all pressure is out of filter, grasp filter bowl firmly with both
hands (models F200-15-1/4 through F200-55-1/2) or place
strap wrench around the bowl (models F200-85-3/4 through
F200-1000-3). Turn bowl counterclockwise as you face the
bottom to unscrew from filter head. If preferred, strap wrenches
can be used on all bowls. Make sure that the bowl does not
drop.
WARNING
ON MODELS F200-600-3 AND LARGER, PROVIDE SUPPORT UNDER BOWL BEFORE REMOVING. BOWL IS
HEAVY AND COULD CAUSE INJURY IF ALLOWED TO
FALL.
Grasp clean element by bottom endcap and push element
6.
onto element adapter firmly, but do not force beyond normal
stop.
Check o-ring in filter head. Replace if worn or damaged.
7.
Clean and lubricate threads on bowl with light grease. This will
8.
facilitate removal of bowl at next servicing.
Carefully raise filter bowl over element and screw into head,
9.
then tighten. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Close manual override if automatic drain or manual drain valve
10.
(petcock); then slowly open inlet and outlet shutoff valves.
Close bypass valve (if provided). Filter is now in service.
Monitor differential pressure regularly and replace element as
11.
indicated.

should be furnished to Seller with the notification.
Unless set forth in the quotation and/or acknowledgment, Seller shall not be obligated to provide
special operating manuals or operating procedures for the operation of its equipment or supply
special warning placards to be affixed to the equipment. If such manuals, procedures or placards
are provided by Seller, Buyer shall be responsible for payment of cost of furnishing such items, for
instructing any operator of the equipment as to the contents of such manuals and/or procedures;
for requiring that such procedures be abided by; for insuring that warning placards remain affixed
to the equipment and for requiring operators to abide by warning placards.
Any safety equipment required to be worn by any operator or maintenance person shall be
provided by Buyer, and the failure to provide such equipment or the failure to require the use thereof
shall be the Buyer’s sole responsibility. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any
liability with respect thereto.

except as provided for in the quotation and/or acknowledgment, and Buyer specifically assumes
all responsibility for supplying such safety devices and/or guarding necessary for the safe operation
of the equipment. If safety devices and/or guarding are specified in the quotation and/or
acknowledgment, Buyer shall be solely responsible for making certain that any operator of the
equipment uses such safety devices and/or guarding and Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller
harmless with respect to any property damage and/or personal injury, including death, occasioned
by any person by reason of such failure on the part of Buyer and/or its operator.
