This Parker P3NF series compressed air filter with sight gauge helps remove water and solid particulates from a compressed air system and is for use in heavy-duty applications with minimum pressure drop requirements. This filter has a metal bowl made of aluminum, which is lightweight and resists corrosion and tarnishing. Its operating temperatures range from 32 to 175 degrees F, and it has a 40 micron rating for contaminant and particle reduction. Its large filter element surface allows for low pressure drop and increased element life, and port blocks are available to provide a 1-1/2" port extension to 1" ported bodies. It has a working pressure of up to 250 pounds per square inch (psi). It has male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for connecting to female threaded pipes. This filter is suitable for use in manufacturing and automated production environments.

Compressed air filters remove pollutants and submicronic contaminants from clean air in compressed air handling and preparation systems. Clean compressed air provides and controls energy, conveys materials, and is critical to the safe operation of equipment in many industries. Compressed air filters remove particulates (dirt), oil, water, and oil vapor. They can be combined with other units, integrating with either a regulator, which controls excess pressure for better performance, or a lubricator, which adds oil mist to the air, or both. They are typically constructed of metal, such as zinc or type 316 stainless steel, or transparent polycarbonate, and are available with optional indicators, gauges, and drain configurations depending on the application. Compressed air filters are used in a wide range of applications, including food processing, electronics, health care, and instrumentation, among others.
