Yamada FR-5 3/4 in Filter-Regulator for NDP-50 / NDP-80 Series Pumps
The Yamada FR-5 is a genuine Yamada air-line filter-regulator, with a 3/4 in compressed-air connection, matched to NDP-50 / NDP-80 series AODD pumps. It mounts in the air supply line ahead of the pump and does two jobs at once: it filters out moisture, oil carryover and particulate before they reach the pump's air valve, and it regulates the line down to a set, steady inlet pressure.
Clean, dry, pressure-controlled air is what keeps an air-operated diaphragm pump's air valve cycling smoothly. Moisture and debris in the air supply are the leading cause of a pump that stalls, hunts, or cycles erratically, and running without pressure regulation makes stroke speed and discharge pressure track every fluctuation in shop air pressure instead of staying steady.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I size the right filter-regulator for my pump?
Match the port size and the flow rating to the pump series it will feed - undersizing a filter-regulator restricts air delivery and can starve the pump of the volume it needs at full stroke rate.
Q: What does a filter-regulator do for an air pump?
It strips moisture, oil carryover and particulate out of the compressed air supply and lets you set a fixed inlet pressure to the pump air valve, which is the single biggest factor in stable, predictable pump cycling.
Q: What is the difference between a filter-regulator and a filter-regulator-lubricator?
A lubricator adds a metered mist of oil to the air stream for air tools or air motors that need ongoing lubrication. Most Yamada AODD pumps do not require lubricated air, so a plain filter-regulator is the standard choice unless Yamada specifies otherwise for that model.
Q: Does an auto-drain model need to be manually emptied?
No. An auto-drain bowl vents accumulated condensate automatically, which is worth the extra cost in humid climates or continuous-duty installations where a manual-drain bowl would need frequent attention.
