Parker 06F12AC Compressed Air Filter 1/4 Npt 53 Scfm

Product Description

The PARKER 06F12AC is an intermediate compressed air filter designed to remove particulate contamination from compressed air lines. Rated at 53 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) with a 40-micron filtration rating, it is suited for general-purpose industrial and commercial air treatment applications. The filter uses a 1/4-inch NPT port with standard NPT end connections and includes a metal bowl guard for added durability in demanding service environments. It supports modular connections, making it compatible with multi-stage filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) assemblies. Installation is straightforward for pneumatic system technicians and maintenance professionals working on compressed air distribution systems.

This filter is appropriate for use in light to medium industrial compressed air systems where intermediate-level particulate removal is required. The 40-micron rating targets coarser contaminants such as pipe scale, rust, and general debris before air reaches downstream equipment. The 1/4-inch NPT port size makes it a practical fit for smaller-diameter compressed air branch lines and tool drop assemblies. Its modular connection design allows integration into multi-stage FRL assemblies for applications requiring filtration, pressure regulation, and lubrication in a single inline package.

Key Features

• 40-micron filtration rating removes particulate contaminants from compressed air lines
• 53 SCFM flow capacity supports light to medium pneumatic system demand
• 1/4-inch NPT port with NPT end connections for standard pipe thread installation
• Metal bowl guard provides mechanical protection for the filter bowl
• Modular connection support allows integration into multi-stage FRL assemblies
• Compact design suited for branch line and point-of-use installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation intermediate compressed air filter for use in modular Parker compressed air treatment systems with 1/4-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize and isolate the compressed air line completely before removing or installing any filter component. Apply thread sealant appropriate for compressed air service to NPT connections and tighten to standard pipe thread engagement; do not overtighten plastic or soft-metal port components. Observe airflow direction markings on the filter body and verify all downstream connections are secure before re-pressurizing the system.
