    About Air Preparation
    industrial info icon

    Customize your air preparation system with dryers, filters, and other purifying parts.

    SMC Modular Compressed Air Filter/Regulators for Particle Removal

    A filter and regulator stacked top-to-bottom, these filter/regulators supply clean, compressed air at the pressure you need. They connect to other SMC 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 will exhaust when the downstream pressure exceeds the set pressure. Add a safety lockout valve to prevent accidental start-ups during maintenance and comply with OSHA lockout/tagout regulations. Use the included mounting brackets to attach these filter/regulators to a wall or equipment.

    SMC Modular Compressed Air Regulators

    Adjust and maintain the pressure of your compressed air. These regulators connect to other SMC 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. They have a pressure gauge that's recessed into the body to protect it from accidental bumps. Attach them to a wall or equipment with the included mounting brackets. Install these regulators in your air line after filters.

    SMC Modular Compressed Air Filter/Regulator/Lubricators (FRLs)

    A combination of an SMC filter, regulator, and lubricator, these FRLs provide clean, lubricated air at your required pressure. They connect to other 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.
    Their bowls have an automatic drain that periodically releases condensate into the air, eliminating the need for manual emptying. They come with mounting brackets so you can attach them to a wall or equipment. Add a safety lockout valve to prevent accidental start-ups during maintenance and comply with OSHA lockout/tagout regulations.

    Inline Components—Inline FRLs are the standard design. Each part can be replaced or repaired on its own, which reduces maintenance costs.
    Stacked Components—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.

    Mount these miniature regulators on a manifold (sold separately) to create a regulating manifold. Each regulator can be set to a different output pressure, so you can power multiple tools or machines with a single air supply. All are relieving regulators, so they exhaust when the downstream pressure exceeds the set pressure. Install them in your air line after filters.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Pressure-Regulating Valves. Clean Room Pressure-Regulating Valves for Water, Air, and Inert Gas.
    To maintain contaminant-free standards in clean room environments, these valves come cleaned and bagged to Fed. Std. Class 100 and ISO Class 5 clean room standards and have a 316 stainless steel body with a smooth finish to resist dust collection. They automatically reduce a high, variable inlet pressure to a lower, stable output pressure. Adjust the outlet pressure within the range. Valves are no-bleed style, so they keep process media contained within the valve.

    Elbow Air Flow Control Valves

    Mount these valves directly to cylinder ports, eliminating additional tubing or piping between the cylinder and valve for better control and consistency than inline valves. Flow control valves control the speed of air-powered equipment by adjusting the volume of airflow. They control flow in one direction as air moves from the inlet to the outlet. Air flows freely in the opposite direction.
    Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve. When selecting between valves with the same port size, choose the valve with the higher flow coefficient to ensure it provides enough airflow to operate your system.

    Elbow Air Flow Control Valves with Flow Indicator

    A flow indicator on these valves provides a relative measure of the air flowing through the valve, from off to full volume, similar to the volume dial on a speaker. The indicator’s numeric increments make it easy to set the valve to the same flow rate with each use. These valves adjust the volume of air exiting an air cylinder (meter out) to control the speed of air-powered equipment. They control flow in one direction as air moves from the inlet to the outlet. Air flows freely in the opposite direction. The elbow shape allows you to mount them directly to cylinder ports, eliminating additional tubing between the cylinder and valve for better control and consistency than inline valves. Insert plastic or soft metal tubing into the push-to-connect outlet ports.
    Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve. When selecting between valves with the same port size, choose the valve with the higher flow coefficient to ensure it provides enough airflow to operate your system.

    Elbow Corrosion-Resistant Air Flow Control Valves

    Mount these valves directly to cylinder ports, eliminating additional tubing or piping between the cylinder and valve for better control than inline valves. Made of stainless steel and plastic parts, they’re more corrosion resistant than valves made of brass, aluminum, or zinc alloy. Use them to control the speed of air-powered equipment by adjusting the volume of airflow. They control flow in one direction as air moves from the inlet to the outlet. Air flows freely in the opposite direction.
    Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve. When selecting between valves with the same port size, choose the valve with the higher flow coefficient to ensure it provides enough airflow to operate your system.

    Single-Control Two-Direction Air Flow Control Valves

    A single dial adjusts the speed of airflow equally in both directions. These valves control flow in two directions as air moves from the inlet to the outlet and from the outlet to the inlet. They’re often used to control the extension speed as flow enters a cylinder (meter in), and the retraction speed as flow exits a cylinder (meter out) at the same time. For the best control, mount them as close to the cylinder as possible to minimize the length of tubing between the cylinder and the valve.
    Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.
