Description of Filter with Auto Drain, 5 Micron, 43 SCFM, Plastic Bowl (1/4″)

The Filter with Auto Drain, 5 Micron, 43 SCFM, Plastic Bowl (1/4″) is a compact, high-performance filtration device designed to provide clean and reliable compressed air for small to medium-scale pneumatic systems. With its 5-micron filtration capability, this filter removes dust, rust, dirt, and other solid particulates from compressed air, ensuring longer life and improved efficiency of downstream tools and equipment. Equipped with an automatic drain and a durable plastic bowl, it combines convenience, affordability, and performance in one solution.


Precise 5-Micron Filtration

This filter features advanced filtration media capable of capturing particles as small as 5 microns. By effectively removing contaminants, it ensures that pneumatic tools, valves, and cylinders receive clean air, preventing clogging, abrasion, and damage. The result is reduced maintenance, fewer breakdowns, and extended service life for your equipment.


Compact Capacity for Local Applications

With a flow capacity of 43 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM), this filter is designed for light-to-medium duty systems. It is particularly well-suited for localized workstations, small air compressors, and compact pneumatic setups where dependable air quality is essential. Its 1/4-inch NPT port connections provide easy integration into standard compressed air lines without the need for special fittings.


Automatic Drain for Hands-Free Operation

The auto drain system automatically expels collected moisture and particulates from the filter bowl, ensuring uninterrupted performance and eliminating the need for frequent manual draining. This feature not only saves operator time but also prevents the risk of condensate carryover that could reduce filter efficiency or damage downstream systems.


Durable Plastic Bowl Design

The filter bowl is constructed from impact-resistant plastic, providing a lightweight yet strong housing for the filtration element. The transparent design allows operators to easily monitor condensate levels at a glance, making it simple to verify system status and performance. A protective outer guard may also be included to ensure safety and extend service life.


Protects Equipment and Improves Efficiency

Particulate contamination in compressed air systems can cause significant damage to pneumatic equipment and reduce overall system efficiency. This filter ensures:

  • Longer tool and equipment life by preventing abrasive wear.

  • Improved system reliability by reducing blockages and malfunctions.

  • Consistent performance for tools and processes dependent on clean air.

  • Reduced maintenance costs by minimizing the need for repairs and replacements.
