A coalescing element is the part that actually does the work: oil aerosol and water mist carried out of the compressor hit the borosilicate media, merge into droplets too heavy to stay airborne, and drain to the bowl instead of travelling on to your tools, dryers, valves and paint work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll four of these are \u003cstrong\u003eGrade 6\u003c\/strong\u003e elements, the high-efficiency grade. Grade 6 removes 99.97% of 0.3 to 0.6 micron aerosol by DOP test and holds oil carryover down to 0.008 ppm w\/w. The lower Grade 10 media in the same housings manages 95% and 0.85 ppm, which is more than a hundred times the oil carryover. If your filter was supplied with the Grade 6 element, replace it with Grade 6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich element fits your filter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS1805:\u003c\/strong\u003e F701-C3-0773, fits 3\/4 in and 1 in F701 housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS1806:\u003c\/strong\u003e F701-C3-0775, fits 1-1\/4 in and 1-1\/2 in F701 housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS1807:\u003c\/strong\u003e F701-C3-0777, fits 2 in F701 housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS1808:\u003c\/strong\u003e F701-C3-0778, fits 2-1\/2 in F701 housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParker also catalogues these with an EK (element kit) prefix, so F701-C3-0773 and EKF701-C3-0773 are the same part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCheck your bowl before you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitment on the F701 is keyed to the bowl as well as the port size. These four elements are for the standard \u003cstrong\u003eE\u003c\/strong\u003e bowl. The high-capacity \u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e bowl takes a different, longer element in the same port sizes. Read the model number off the filter body: an F701-08\u003cstrong\u003eE\u003c\/strong\u003e3P takes the E element listed here, an F701-08\u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e3P does not.

A coalescing element that has loaded up does not stop filtering, it just costs you more and more pressure to push air through, and every PSI of drop is power you paid for at the compressor. Once the gauge or pop-up indicator shows 10 PSIG across the element, change it. Elements with no indicator fitted are usually put on an annual change in clean service and twice a year downstream of a hard-worked lubricated compressor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing worth knowing: a coalescing element wants a particulate filter ahead of it. Running coalescing media as the first line of defence buries it in rust and pipe scale and you will be buying elements far more often than you should. Parker's own guidance is to fit an F602 style particulate filter upstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA note on availability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParker has restructured the F701 line and the larger housings have been superseded in their current catalogue, but these elements remain available as service parts for the large installed base of F701 filters still in daily use.
