Airline Filter Regulator Lubricator

Clean, Regulated Compressed Air for Reliable Pneumatic Equipment

Filter-regulator-lubricator assemblies condition compressed air before it reaches pneumatic valves, cylinders, tools and machinery. PneumaticHub supplies modular FRL components for filtering contamination, setting downstream pressure and adding controlled lubrication where an application requires it.

A correctly sized air preparation system can improve equipment reliability, stabilize pressure and simplify maintenance. Filters, regulators and lubricators can be installed individually or combined as a modular assembly to suit the machine.

FRL System Features

  • Port sizes from miniature connections through larger industrial pipe sizes depending on series
  • Durable aluminum construction on applicable models
  • Quick-release bowl guards for easier service
  • Lockable pressure adjustment on regulator models
  • Modular filter, regulator and lubricator assembly options

Why Use an FRL System?

  • Compressed air can contain water, particles, pipe scale and oil aerosols. Filtration removes damaging contamination, regulation maintains a controlled downstream pressure, and lubrication can supply a measured oil mist to equipment designed to require it.
  • Not every modern pneumatic system needs a lubricator, so the air preparation configuration should match the requirements of the downstream equipment.

Common Applications

  • Industrial automation
  • Packaging machinery
  • Pneumatic tools
  • Cylinder and valve circuits
  • Machine tools
  • OEM equipment
  • Plant compressed air drops

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FRL stand for?

FRL stands for Filter, Regulator and Lubricator.

Do I need all three FRL components?

Not always. Many systems use only a filter and regulator. A lubricator should be used only when downstream equipment requires oil mist lubrication.

What does a pneumatic filter remove?

It removes solid particles and bulk liquid contamination from compressed air, with filtration level depending on the element.

Why use a pressure regulator?

A regulator maintains a controlled downstream pressure even when upstream supply pressure changes within its operating range.

How do I size an FRL?

Consider required airflow, port size, supply pressure, downstream pressure, allowable pressure drop and filtration needs.

Where should an FRL be installed?

It is normally installed upstream of the pneumatic equipment it protects, as close to the machine or point of use as practical.

Can FRL components be serviced?

Yes. Filter elements, bowls and other service parts can be inspected and replaced according to operating conditions and manufacturer guidance.
