ATD Tools 7828 Air Line Filter 1/4" NPT 40 Micron Metal Bowl 48 SCFM

The ATD Tools 7828 is a standard air line filter designed to protect pneumatic tools and equipment from contamination in compressed air systems. This general-purpose filter effectively removes liquid water, condensate, pipe scale, dirt, and rust particles down to 40 microns, preventing corrosive damage and premature component failure.

Key Specifications:

• 1/4" NPT connection with 1/2" pipe size compatibility
• Durable metal bowl construction with 6 oz. capacity
• 40 micron filter element for effective particle filtration
• Maximum flow capacity: 100 SCFM (rated at 48 SCFM)
• Maximum operating pressure: 250 psig
• Operating temperature range: 40°F to 160°F
• Manual drain valve for easy moisture removal

Applications and Installation:

This filter is typically installed upstream of regulators to prevent valve failure and extend equipment life. It serves as an excellent pre-filter for oil-removing and coalescing filters in applications such as paint spraying, instrumentation, and pharmaceutical uses. For optimal system protection, install a main line filter on your primary air line and individual general-purpose filters at each work station.

The metal bowl provides superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, making this filter ideal for workshop and industrial environments where compressed air quality is critical for tool performance and longevity.
