Norgren F72C-3AD-QE0 Coalescing Filter 3/8 Inch Port

Product Description

The NORGREN F72C-3AD-QE0 is a compact coalescing filter designed to remove oil aerosols, water, and fine particulates from compressed air and gas lines. Rated at 0.01 micron, it targets sub-micron contamination that standard particulate filters pass through. The unit features a zinc bowl construction and a manual drain for controlled condensate removal. With a maximum operating pressure of 250 psi and a 3/8 inch port size, this filter suits high-demand inline filtration on pneumatic tool circuits, instrumentation lines, and air preparation assemblies. Installation is handled by compressed air system technicians and millwrights in industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing environments.

The F72C-3AD-QE0 is suited for use in compressed air distribution systems where downstream components — pneumatic valves, actuators, spray equipment, or sensitive instrumentation — require clean, oil-free air. The compact form factor fits space-constrained air prep stations. At 7.92 inches overall height and 1.98 inches wide, it integrates into modular filter-regulator-lubricator assemblies or as a standalone inline coalescing stage. Typical applications include point-of-use filtration ahead of precision pneumatic controls and food-grade or paint-finish air lines where oil carryover is not acceptable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified compressed air system technician or pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the air line before removing or installing the filter. Ensure the arrow on the filter body or housing is oriented in the direction of airflow. Follow applicable OSHA compressed air safety standards and local plumbing or mechanical codes when integrating into a distribution system.
