Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes the AS209 different from other FRL units?
A: The AS209 combines a high-capacity 160 PSI filter-regulator in one compact unit with a 1/2-inch NPT connection — larger than most consumer units. This means less pressure drop and higher flow capacity, making it suitable for industrial air systems running multiple tools.
Q: Can I use the AS209 as the main regulator for my shop air system?
A: Yes, the AS209 is designed for main-line installation. Its 1/2-inch NPT connections and 160 PSI rating make it ideal as the primary filter-regulator after your compressor tank. For individual tool regulation, add point-of-use regulators downstream.
Q: How often should I drain the AS209 water trap?
A: Drain the moisture bowl before each use session. In humid conditions or during extended operation, check and drain every 1-2 hours. The transparent bowl makes visual monitoring easy. Regular draining prevents water carryover into your air tools.
