Norgren F72G-3AN-AE1 Compact Air Filter 55 Scfm 3/8 Npt

Product Description

The NORGREN F72G-3AN-AE1 is a compact pneumatic line filter designed to remove particulate contamination from compressed air systems. Rated at 55 SCFM with a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and a maximum temperature of 150 degrees F, it suits demanding industrial and trade pneumatic applications. The unit features a 5-micron sintered polypropylene filter media, an aluminum housing, and a metal bowl with automatic drain for hands-free condensate removal. A sight glass is included for quick visual inspection of bowl conditions without disassembly. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, and industrial mechanics install this filter as part of a compressed air treatment train.

The F72G-3AN-AE1 is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial compressed air systems where consistent air quality is required upstream of regulators, lubricators, or sensitive pneumatic components. The 3/8 NPT port size and modular connection design allow it to integrate directly into FRL (filter-regulator-lubricator) assemblies. The automatic drain eliminates the need for scheduled manual draining, making it practical in installations where routine access is limited. The compact footprint — 6.02 inches high by 1.98 inches wide — fits tight equipment rooms and panel-mount applications.

Installation Notes

Install by a qualified pneumatic or mechanical technician in accordance with applicable local and OSHA compressed air safety standards. Depressurize and isolate the compressed air line completely before installation or servicing. Apply thread sealant appropriate for pneumatic service to all NPT connections and torque fittings according to standard pipe thread practices. Verify flow direction matches the arrow or inlet/outlet markings on the housing before pressurizing the system.
