Product Overview

Bray Series 55 - 5 Micron High-Precision Filter Regulator

High-Performance Air Filter Regulator for Pneumatic Devices

The Bray Series 55 filter regulator is a high-performance air preparation unit. It provides 5 micron (5 μm) high-precision nominal filtration capability, enabling precise control of supply air pressure while efficiently removing solid particles and liquid contaminants from compressed air, delivering rated clean compressed air to various pneumatic control devices.

For optimal filtration and valve regulation performance, we strongly recommend use with Bray Series 6A and Series 6P pneumatic positioners to prevent fine contaminants from clogging the precision positioner’s internal air passages.

Features and Benefits

Series 55 Filter Regulator Features

A | Locking Adjustment Knob

Enables precise downstream pressure adjustment and locks the pressure setting in place, effectively preventing pressure drift caused by industrial vibration or operator misadjustment.

B | Threaded Collar

The body integrates a threaded collar for easy connection to wall-mount brackets and greatly simplifies control panel embedded mounting (Panel Mounting).

C | Standard Pressure Ports

Offers universal 1/4” NPT or G 1/4 metric threads, fully compatible with global mainstream pneumatic piping accessory standards.

D | Quick-Release Filter Bowl

Features an advanced quick-release locking mechanism that allows fast and convenient removal of the filter bowl and guard for cleaning or replacement of the 5 micron filter element — no special tools required.

E | Transparent Polycarbonate Bowl

High-transparency design enables maintenance personnel to easily inspect condensate accumulation and liquid levels inside the filter bowl.

F | Metal Bowl Guard

A rugged metal guard surrounds the filter bowl, providing strong shatterproof and impact protection against harsh external industrial environments.

G | Push-Button Drain

A user-friendly miniature push-button drain valve at the bottom of the bowl allows quick removal of accumulated condensate with a single press.

FAQ & Valve Depot Purchasing Guide

What is the key advantage of the "5 micron" filtration rating on the Bray Series 55 filter regulator?

5 micron (5 μm) is a high-precision nominal filtration rating. It effectively captures ultra-fine solid particles and moisture from compressed air — this is essential for protecting precision pneumatic control components such as the Bray Series 6A electro-pneumatic positioner and Series 6P pneumatic positioner, preventing their internal piezoelectric valves or nozzle flapper mechanisms from being clogged by foreign matter.

Does the "Set Pressure 7-125 PSIG" in the technical specifications mean vacuum service is not supported?

Correct. The Bray Series 55 is a positive-pressure pneumatic regulating valve with a stable adjustment range of 7 to 125 PSIG (equivalent to 0.5 to 8.6 Bar). It is designed to regulate the input air supply pressure for standard industrial pneumatic actuators and does not support vacuum or negative pressure applications. The body has a maximum safe pressure rating of 250 PSIG (17.2 bar).

How can I ensure the Bray Series 55 I purchase from Valve Depot matches my existing equipment connections?

This series primarily offers 1/4" NPT (American Standard Taper Thread) and G 1/4 (British Standard Parallel Thread) pressure ports. As a professional channel distributor, our technical engineers will assist you before order placement by reviewing photos of your existing valve nameplates or piping to ensure the connection type is a perfect match, avoiding air leaks or installation issues caused by incorrect thread standards.

Is routine maintenance, such as filter element replacement and draining, difficult on the Bray Series 55?

Not at all. The Bray Series 55 features a Quick-Release Bowl design. When maintaining, cleaning, or replacing the internal 5 micron plastic filter element, no special tools are required whatsoever — simply unlock it manually for quick disassembly. For daily draining, just press the push-button drain valve at the bottom for instant condensate removal.
