Norgren F46-801-A0DA Coalescing Filter 1 Inch Port

Product Description

The NORGREN F46-801-A0DA is a heavy-duty coalescing filter designed to remove oil aerosols, water mist, and sub-micron particulates from compressed air systems. Rated at 0.01 micron, it captures fine contamination that standard particulate filters cannot address, protecting downstream equipment such as pneumatic valves, actuators, and precision instrumentation. The aluminum bowl construction keeps weight manageable while delivering robust corrosion resistance. An automatic drain eliminates manual intervention and reduces the risk of liquid carryover during continuous operation. Licensed HVAC technicians, industrial mechanics, and pipefitters working on compressed air distribution systems typically specify and install this unit.

This coalescing filter is suited for heavy-duty compressed air applications in manufacturing, processing, and mechanical equipment rooms where oil-free, dry air is critical. It handles line pressures up to 250 psi, making it appropriate for high-demand industrial compressed air headers as well as point-of-use installations on sensitive pneumatic tools and controls. The integrated sight glass allows technicians to monitor bowl conditions without disassembly, supporting routine service intervals. A 1 inch port size accommodates standard pipe or NPT fittings common in industrial distribution lines.

Key Features

• 0.01 micron filtration rating captures fine oil aerosols and sub-micron contaminants
• 250 psi maximum working pressure suits high-demand compressed air systems
• Automatic drain removes accumulated liquid without manual service
• Aluminum bowl provides corrosion resistance at reduced weight
• Integrated sight glass allows visual bowl inspection without disassembly
• 1 inch port size matches standard industrial compressed air piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation coalescing filter for heavy-duty industrial compressed air systems with 1 inch port connections and operating pressures up to 250 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or industrial mechanic in accordance with applicable compressed air system codes and the facility safety plan. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air line fully before installing or servicing this filter. Mount the unit vertically with the bowl oriented downward to ensure proper automatic drain function. Verify all port connections are sealed and leak-tested before returning the system to operating pressure.
