About Air Preparation

Festo Modular Compressed Air Filter/Regulator/Lubricators (FRLs)
Made up of a Festo filter, regulator, and lubricator, these FRLs provide clean, lubricated air at your required pressure. They connect to other Festo units of the same series with joiner clamps (sold separately)—even if the pipe sizes are slightly different—so you can customize your air preparation system. The regulator is relieving, so it exhausts when the downstream pressure exceeds the set pressure. Slip a padlock through a hole in the knob to prevent unwanted pressure changes. Add a safety lockout valve to prevent accidental start-ups during maintenance and comply with OSHA lockout/tagout regulations.
Inline FRLs are the standard design. Each part can be replaced or repaired on its own, which reduces maintenance costs. Stacked FRLs have a filter and regulator joined top-to-bottom and a lubricator on the side. They require less horizontal space than inline FRLs.
Joiner clamps (sold separately) create compact, airtight connections between components that are easy to swap out. They come with mounting brackets to attach FRLs to a wall or equipment.
End block sets (sold separately) allow you to swap out filter/regulator/lubricator components without unthreading your air line connections. The blocks remain connected to your pipe while you replace components between them.

Safety Lockout Valves for Festo Modular
Compressed Air Filter/Regulator/Lubricators (FRLs)
Prevent accidental start-ups while you service air preparation equipment. These lockout valves exhaust downstream pressure and can be locked in the shut-off position using a padlock. They help you comply with OSHA regulations for lockout/tagout procedures.
Joiner clamps (sold separately) connect these valves to another Festo modular unit with the same series number. They create compact, airtight connections that are easy to swap out. These clamps come with mounting brackets to attach the valve to a wall or equipment.

Festo Modular Compressed Air Lubricators
Add lubrication to your air supply to extend the service life of air-powered tools and equipment. These lubricators connect to other Festo units of the same series with joiner clamps (sold separately)—even if the pipe sizes are slightly different—so you can customize your air preparation system. You can see inside the bowl to check the oil level for refilling. Adjust the amount of lubricant in the air based on your equipment's performance. If your machine is running loudly or showing signs of wear, increase the amount; if you notice oil building up, decrease it. Install these lubricators in your air line after filters and regulators.
Joiner clamps (sold separately) create compact, airtight connections between components. These clamps come with mounting brackets.
End block sets (sold separately) allow you to swap out components without unthreading your air line connections. The blocks remain connected to your pipe while you replace components between them.

Compressed Air Regulating Manifolds
Use a single air supply to meet the pressure requirements of multiple applications—connect one of these manifolds to your air line, and then set a different output pressure for each station. All are relieving regulators, so they exhaust when the downstream pressure exceeds the set pressure. Install in your air line after filters.
Style C manifolds are suitable in the high-pressure systems required for sandblasting, molding and machining operations, and conveying.
