NPT, 20 Micron","description":"\u003cp\u003eAir comes out of a receiver carrying water, pipe scale and whatever the compressor contributed. The F504 is the small particulate filter that goes in ahead of a tool, a cylinder or a regulator and takes the worst of it out. A deflector plate spins the air on the way in, centrifugal force throws the liquid and heavy solids to the bowl wall, and the element catches what is left down to 20 micron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePublished specification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePort size: 1\/4 in.

It is not a coalescer and it will not take oil aerosol out of the air, so it is the wrong part in front of a paint gun, an air bearing or an instrument. For those, a coalescing element downstream is what you need. Worth saying plainly because a 20 micron filter upstream of a spray booth is a common and expensive mistake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eService\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrain the bowl before it reaches the baffle, because above that line the swirling air picks the water back up and carries it downstream. Change the element at 10 PSIG drop. Wash the bowl in warm water only; solvents craze polycarbonate and a crazed bowl under 150 PSIG is a safety problem, not a cosmetic one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParker Watts F504-02AH miniature compressed air line filter, 1\/4 in.
