EXAIR recommends filtered compressed air for maintenance free operation of our products. We have a complete line of water/dirt separators as well as oil removal filters. As our core focus is conservation of compressed air we also recommend regulating air pressure only as high as needed to get the job done. Click here to view our line of pressure regulators.
For todays blog I am going to demonstrate how to assemble mounting and coupling brackets to our filters and regulators. If you have any questions feel welcomed to call us a 1-800-903-9247.

As I write this blog I am waiting for my game console to finish a system update. Oddly enough it was able to flip some tiny switch in my brain that gave me today’s blog topic. EXAIR‘s brand new, updated, catalog has just been released this week!
Much like a software update is crucial, our catalog update is a vital step in the process of keeping all of our customers up to date on what we’ve been busy with over the past year. This years catalog has hundreds of new models and product offerings. Not to mention several new award winning products.
Not only does the catalog have all the model numbers and full color pictures of the product, but it also contains a vast majority of the technical data available on each product line.
So if you are still working with an older catalog from a few years ago, let us know and we’ll send you a brand new one out as quick as possible. If you can’t wait for the United States Post Office the PDF version of the catalog and each of it’s individual sections is available for free download from our site.
I know I was extremely happy to get mine on my desk and all the tabs in it. Hopefully it will bring some joy to other detail oriented engineers like Lee Evans mentioned in his blog post.

I once read something that identified what people look for in a product or purchase. The idea was that different personality types look for different things. One of the points that jumped out at me from the article was that engineers want details.
“Hmm…” I thought to myself. “Do I do that?”
I thought back to the last vehicle I purchased. I remember asking the seller if the engine was an M54 or an M62.
“What does that even mean” he said, sounding very confused.
I dialed it down a bit.
“Is it a 6 or 8 cylinder engine?”
“Oh, it’s a 6. I think.”
Looking back on this (and the rest of the conversation), I agree that engineers most definitely want details. Sometimes we are so detail oriented its necessary to take a step back and remember the rest of the world doesn’t look at things the way we do. Fortunately, when working with EXAIR, you don’t need to dial it down.
I’ve been in and out of the test lab this week working through an application for an overseas customer. They need specifications and values that aren’t defined in the catalog or spec sheets available on the web for our Super Air Knives (Air velocities at certain distances). Fortunately, I understand the need and desire for the charts and figures. So, I graciously agree to run the test and supply the data.
Anytime a new application is proposed there is always the possibility of being unable to meet the necessary performance standards, which can cause worry. In the words of Winston Churchill, “Let our advance worry become advance thinking and planning.”
If you need to plan out a system with EXAIR components, we’re just a call away.
