Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Disconnect Supply Lines:
    Remove the N2 supply lines going into the filter.
  2. Remove Quick Connects:
    Detach the quick connect fittings that go to the 8 PSI pressure switch.
  3. Remove Filter Assembly:
    If space allows, remove the entire filter with fittings attached. Otherwise, remove the fittings first, then the filter body.
  4. Prep New Filter:
    Open the new filter and apply Teflon tape to both threaded ends. Note that one side may be tighter to access due to the drain plug.
  5. Install New Filter:
    • Thread the new filter into the stainless steel tee on the heater manifold.
    • Be sure the flow arrow and cap face are both oriented toward the N2 heater manifold.
    • Tighten snugly, but avoid over-tightening.
  6. Reconnect Hardware:
    Attach the tee fitting and ensure it’s secure. Reconnect the N2 tubing and quick connects to the 8 PSI switch.

And thatโ€™s itโ€”your SRD is ready to go with a new N2 filter in place.
