Parker 06E12A13AC Frl Filter Regulator 1/4 Npt 46 Scfm

Product Description

The PARKER 06E12A13AC is a single-piece filter/regulator combination unit designed to condition compressed air at the point of use. Part of Parker's 06E Series, it combines filtration and pressure regulation into one compact intermediate-body package. The unit flows up to 46 SCFM through a 1/4 inch NPT port and handles supply pressures up to 150 psi. A 40-micron filter element removes particulate contamination from the air stream before it reaches downstream equipment. The zinc body and polycarbonate bowl with integrated bowl guard make this unit appropriate for industrial and commercial compressed air systems. It is installed by pneumatic system technicians, maintenance mechanics, and industrial contractors.

The 06E12A13AC fits into modular compressed air preparation assemblies thanks to its modular connection design, allowing it to be paired with additional FRL components in a common manifold configuration. It is suited for intermediate-service installations where space is limited and a combined filter/regulator replaces two separate components. Typical applications include air preparation for pneumatic tools, actuators, solenoid valves, and control instrumentation in manufacturing, processing, and mechanical service environments. Operating temperature range is 32 degrees F minimum to 125 degrees F maximum, making it appropriate for standard indoor industrial use.

Key Features

• Single-piece filter/regulator configuration reduces plumbing connections and installation time
• 46 SCFM flow capacity suits moderate to high-demand pneumatic circuits
• 150 psi maximum supply pressure with 1/4 inch NPT end connections
• 40-micron filtration removes particulate contamination from the air supply
• Manual drain for controlled removal of collected liquid from the polycarbonate bowl
• Modular connection design allows integration into multi-component FRL assemblies
• Bowl guard included for polycarbonate bowl protection in service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style modular filter/regulator for Parker 06E Series compressed air preparation systems with 1/4 inch NPT porting. Modular connection allows assembly with compatible Parker 06E Series lubricators and other FRL components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or maintenance mechanic. Depressurize and lockout/tagout the compressed air supply before removing or installing any FRL component. Mount the unit vertically with the bowl oriented downward to ensure proper liquid collection and drainage. Check all NPT thread connections for leaks after pressurizing the system and confirm the regulated outlet pressure is set to the correct downstream requirement before returning the circuit to service.
