Parker 12F42EC Coalescing Filter 120 Cfm 3/4 Inch Port

Product Description

The PARKER 12F42EC is a coalescing filter designed to remove oil aerosols, water droplets, and fine particulates from compressed air lines. Rated for up to 120 CFM of flow, it features a 3/4-inch port and operates at pressures up to 150 psi. The polycarbonate bowl provides visible contamination monitoring, and the manual drain allows controlled removal of collected liquids. This unit is installed by industrial maintenance technicians, HVAC service professionals, and pneumatic system installers who require clean, dry air downstream of compressors and air handlers.

The 12F42EC is suited for compressed air distribution systems in light industrial, commercial, and mechanical room applications. It connects inline on compressed air supply lines ahead of pneumatic tools, control valves, actuators, and other equipment sensitive to oil or moisture contamination. The modular connection design allows integration with compatible filter, regulator, and lubricator assemblies for multi-stage air treatment.

Key Features

• Coalescing filtration rated at 0.01 micron to capture fine oil aerosols and water droplets
• 120 CFM flow capacity for medium to high-demand compressed air systems
• 3/4-inch port size for standard compressed air line connections
• 150 psi maximum operating pressure
• Polycarbonate bowl for visible inspection of collected contaminants
• Manual drain for controlled liquid removal without full disassembly
• Modular connection design for inline series mounting with other air treatment components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline coalescing filter for compressed air systems requiring a 3/4-inch ported, modular-mount filter element rated to 150 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician with compressed air system experience. Depressurize the air line fully before removing or installing any filter component. Ensure flow direction matches the arrow or marking on the filter body. Verify that downstream equipment pressure ratings are compatible with the 150 psi maximum before pressurizing the system.
