1/2" NPT MIDI Airline Pressure Regulator – 180 PSI | XOR-MIDI-N12
The Pneuforce XOR-MIDI-N12 modular pressure regulator reduces plant compressed air to a controlled downstream pressure for pneumatic machinery. This MIDI model has 1/2" NPT ports and a 180 PSI regulated-pressure configuration.
Consistent pressure control helps protect components, stabilize cylinder force and reduce unnecessary compressed air consumption. The modular design allows connection with compatible filters and lubricators.
Modular Joining Kits and Field-Change Thread Blocks
A matching MIDI XOFR filter-regulator and XOL lubricator can be joined with the FRLKIT-MIDI modular FRL joining kit. Each joining kit is size-specific: MINI, MIDI and MAXI kit bodies are not interchangeable. To change the connection thread size while retaining the MIDI modular component, select a compatible MIDI OHB replaceable port/thread block. Available MIDI thread blocks: OHB-MIDI-38 (3/8" NPT), OHB-MIDI-12 (1/2" NPT), OHB-MIDI-34 (3/4" NPT). This helps distributors and plant maintenance teams carry fewer complete FRL variants and configure the required NPT port size at the point of installation. Confirm the port block, seals, orientation and component compatibility before fitting.
Choosing the Correct Pneuforce FRL Component
XOR-MIDI-N12 is a standalone MIDI regulator with 1/2" NPT ports. It sets downstream air pressure but does not provide particulate filtration, condensate drainage or oil mist; add compatible XOF and XOL components if required by the machine.

Stable Pressure for Pneumatic Machinery
A correctly sized regulator maintains a lower, controlled outlet pressure as supply pressure and air demand change, supporting repeatable machine operation and efficient air use.

Installation & Service Guidance
Install in the indicated airflow direction. Reduce the adjustment setting before pressurizing, then increase outlet pressure gradually while air is flowing. Select a regulator with adequate flow capacity to avoid excessive pressure drop.
Important: Isolate and fully depressurize the compressed air system before installation or maintenance. Confirm model, body size, port size and component compatibility before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this air pressure regulator control?+
It reduces higher supply pressure and maintains an adjustable, lower downstream working pressure for cylinders, valves or pneumatic tools.
What port size and body size does it use?+
This is a MIDI regulator with 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet ports. Select the body and port size for the required machine airflow.
What is the difference between 100 PSI and 180 PSI regulator models?+
XOR-MIDI-N12 is in the 180 PSI nominal adjustment class. The published family adjustment limit is 175 psi(g) (12 bar(g)); select the model appropriate to the desired outlet-pressure range.
What is the permitted inlet pressure?+
The FRL datasheet lists a 230 psi(g) (16 bar(g)) maximum supply rating and a lower 175 psi(g) (12 bar(g)) adjustment limit. These are different limits, not interchangeable.
Does the regulator include a filter or a bowl drain?+
No. The XOR series is a standalone pressure regulator; particulate filtration and condensate drainage require a separate filter or filter-regulator.
Does the regulator include a pressure gauge?+
The manufacturer FRL datasheet shows a pressure gauge as an included feature for the XOR pressure regulator family.
How is the regulator adjusted?+
Reduce the setting before pressurizing and increase outlet pressure gradually. The datasheet identifies a push-to-lock, pull-to-unlock adjustment knob.
What is the rated airflow?+
The published 180 PSI model flow is 141 CFM (4,000 NL/min). Select adequate flow capacity to avoid an excessive pressure drop.
Which joining kit connects a MIDI XOFR and XOL?+
Use Pneuforce FRLKIT-MIDI to join compatible MIDI XOFR filter-regulators and XOL lubricators. Choose the kit for the same body size; MINI, MIDI and MAXI joining kits cannot be mixed.
Can I change the MIDI FRL NPT connection size without replacing the complete assembly?+
Yes, where the assembly accepts the replaceable Pneuforce OHB thread blocks. The MIDI port options are OHB-MIDI-38 (3/8" NPT), OHB-MIDI-12 (1/2" NPT), OHB-MIDI-34 (3/4" NPT). A suitable block can simplify on-site configuration and inventory management; confirm the matching component and seals first.
