There is no annual replacement schedule. Inspect it at each scheduled shutdown, clean off any scale or sludge it has collected, and replace it if the element is corroded, deformed, or damaged. Far more often, the part that needs attention on a separator is the drain: a drain stuck closed floods the housing and carries liquid downstream, while a drain stuck open bleeds compressed air continuously and quietly costs real money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Genuine Champion Elements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeparator element geometry sets the swirl velocity inside the housing, and swirl velocity is what determines separation efficiency. An element with the wrong vane geometry fits the housing and still fails to separate. Genuine Champion elements maintain the rated performance and keep your Champion warranty intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Air Compressor Store\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAir Compressor Store is an authorized Champion Pneumatic distributor. We stock the CFL element range, ship same day on in-stock part numbers, and our compressed-air engineers will cross-reference your existing part number if you are not sure what you have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I find my element part number?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead the housing part number off the label. A CFL375CAG housing takes a CF375-series element; the number after CFL is the flow size and the grade letter follows it. Call us with the housing part number if the label is unreadable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use a Grade A element in a Grade C housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The housings share a body casting but the elements are different devices. A separator element in a filter housing will not filter, and a filter element in a separator housing will load up with liquid and collapse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to depressurize before changing an element?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways. Isolate the filter, bleed it to zero pressure, and confirm at the drain before opening the bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champion","offers":[{"title":"CF20AE — 20 SCFM","offer_id":54781547839763,"sku":"CF20AE","price":61.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CF35AE — 35 SCFM","offer_id":54781547872531,"sku":"CF35AE","price":64.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CF60AE — 60 SCFM","offer_id":54781547905299,"sku":"CF60AE","price":89.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CF100AE — 100 SCFM","offer_id":54781547938067,"sku":"CF100AE","price":187.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CF170AE — 170 SCFM","offer_id":54781547970835,"sku":"CF170AE","price":138.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CF250AE — 250 SCFM","offer_id":54781548003603,"sku":"CF250AE","price":179.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CF375AE — 375 SCFM","offer_id":54781548036371,"sku":"CF375AE","price":235.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CF485AE — 485 SCFM","offer_id":54781548069139,"sku":"CF485AE","price":304.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CF625AE — 625 SCFM","offer_id":54781548101907,"sku":"CF625AE","price":313.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CF780AE — 780 SCFM","offer_id":54781548134675,"sku":"CF780AE","price":306.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/3141\/8387\/files\/CFL-cutaway.png?v=1780354006","url":"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/champion-cfl-series-grade-a-replacement-filter-element","provider":"Warthog Air Compressor Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
