Norgren 4438-01 Frl Filter Element 5 Micron

Product Description

The NORGREN 4438-01 is a replacement FRL filter element designed for use with intermediate compressed air filters in compressed air systems. It provides 5-micron filtration, capturing particulates and contaminants before they reach downstream pneumatic components such as regulators, lubricators, valves, and actuators. At 1.46 inches in height and weighing just 0.24 pounds, this is a compact, direct-fit replacement element. Pneumatic system technicians and industrial maintenance professionals install this element as part of routine compressed air filter servicing to maintain system cleanliness and protect equipment longevity.

This filter element is suited for compressed air filtration applications where intermediate-grade particulate removal is required. It fits into FRL (filter-regulator-lubricator) assemblies that accept the corresponding Norgren intermediate compressed air filter housing. Typical installation scenarios include factory automation, pneumatic tool supply lines, and general industrial compressed air distribution systems where maintaining clean, dry air quality is critical to downstream equipment performance.

Key Features

• 5-micron filter media for intermediate-grade particulate removal from compressed air
• Compact form factor at 1.46 inches in height for easy element changeout
• Direct-fit replacement element — no modification required during service
• Sold as a single element, allowing individual replacement without full assembly purchase
• Lightweight at 0.24 pounds for simple handling during maintenance

Compatibility

Designed for use with Norgren intermediate compressed air filter assemblies that accept the 4438-01 replacement element. Consult the filter housing documentation to confirm element fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Element replacement should be performed by a qualified pneumatic or industrial maintenance technician. Before servicing, depressurize the compressed air line completely and verify zero pressure at the filter housing. Use appropriate filter housing tools to remove the bowl and extract the spent element, then seat the new element securely before reassembling. Follow the equipment manufacturer's recommended service intervals and any applicable facility safety procedures for compressed air systems.
