Description
Product Overview
The FR202 1/4 inch filter and regulator combination, offered by compressor source, is engineered to meet the demanding needs of industrial workshops, automotive service bays, and small manufacturing facilities. Built with a robust polyvinyl chloride (PVC) housing, the unit resists corrosion, chemical exposure, and the wear that commonly afflicts metal components in harsh environments. The integrated pressure regulator provides a smooth, precise adjustment range from 7 to 140 PSI, allowing users to fine‑tune airflow to match the requirements of pneumatic tools, paint sprayers, and other compressed‑air equipment.
Key specifications include a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi, a 0.25 horsepower motor rating, and a compact footprint measuring 8.9 × 2.13 × 1.89 inches. The inlet and outlet connections are 1/4″ female NPT, clearly marked IN and OUT to prevent reverse flow. The unit also incorporates an easy‑turn drain valve that enables rapid removal of accumulated moisture without the need for disassembly, extending the life of downstream tools and reducing downtime.
Designed for straightforward installation, the package includes a sturdy wall‑mount bracket that can be secured to a variety of surfaces, ensuring the regulator remains accessible while keeping the work area tidy. The lightweight construction, at just 15.8 ounces, makes the FR202 easy to handle during setup and relocation. With a customer rating of 4.6 stars from six verified reviews, the product has demonstrated reliability and satisfaction among users who demand consistent performance.
Usage
The FR202 excels in environments where clean, dry air is essential for optimal tool performance. In automotive repair shops, the regulator maintains the correct pressure for impact wrenches, air ratchets, and paint guns, while the built‑in filter removes water droplets and contaminants that could cause rust or surface defects. In small manufacturing settings, the unit safeguards pneumatic presses and assembly line equipment, preventing moisture‑induced wear and ensuring consistent operation.
Because the regulator can be set as low as 7 psi, it is also suitable for delicate applications such as air‑driven hand tools that require low pressure to avoid over‑inflation or damage. The easy‑turn drain feature is particularly valuable in humid climates, where condensation can quickly accumulate in compressed‑air lines. Users can simply rotate the drain knob to release water, then re‑tighten it to resume normal operation without interrupting workflow.
Portability is another advantage; the lightweight design and compact size allow technicians to carry the FR202 between job sites or store it conveniently on a tool rack. Whether mounted on a wall in a permanent workshop or used as a portable unit on a service cart, the regulator delivers reliable performance across a broad range of tasks.
