Norgren F73C-3AD-QP0 Coalescing Filter 3/8 Inch Port

Product Description

The NORGREN F73C-3AD-QP0 is a coalescing compressed-air filter designed to remove sub-micron oil aerosols, water mist, and fine particulate from pneumatic supply lines. Rated at 0.01 micron, it delivers clean, dry air to downstream instrumentation, valves, and air-operated equipment where contamination causes premature failure or process errors. The polycarbonate bowl provides a clear view of collected liquid, and the manual drain allows controlled removal of separated condensate without taking the line offline. Maximum working pressure is 150 psi. Licensed HVAC technicians, industrial maintenance mechanics, and pneumatic system installers are the typical end users for this component.

The F73C-3AD-QP0 is suited for use in compressed-air distribution systems where oil carryover from reciprocating or rotary-screw compressors must be controlled before air reaches sensitive downstream components. Common applications include pneumatic control panels, instrument air headers, spray finishing systems, and any process requiring instrument-quality air. The 3/8 inch port size fits standard branch-line plumbing in light industrial and commercial settings. At 2.68 inches wide and 8.16 inches high, the unit fits in tight panel or inline mounting locations.

Key Features

• 0.01 micron coalescing element removes oil aerosols and fine water mist from compressed air
• 150 psi maximum working pressure supports standard industrial compressed-air systems
• Polycarbonate bowl gives a clear visual indication of accumulated liquid level
• Manual drain allows controlled condensate removal without system shutdown
• 3/8 inch port size fits standard branch-line pneumatic plumbing
• Compact footprint at 2.68 inches wide and 8.16 inches high for space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline coalescing filter for compressed-air systems using 3/8 inch ported connections operating at up to 150 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or industrial maintenance mechanic. Depressurize and lock out the compressed-air supply before removing or installing any inline filter component. Ensure flow direction matches the arrow marked on the filter body. Polycarbonate bowls should not be exposed to solvent-based cleaners or incompatible chemicals that can cause stress cracking.
