Parker 6002N-0A1-BX Sterile Air Filter 1/4 in Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 6002N-0A1-BX is a sterile air compressed air filter designed to deliver ultra-clean, contaminant-free air in applications where microbial and particulate contamination must be eliminated. Part of the Parker 6000 Series, this filter provides a 0.01 micron rating, making it suitable for critical processes in food and beverage, pharmaceutical, laboratory, and medical gas systems. The unit features a stainless steel bowl and automatic drain, reducing maintenance intervals and supporting continuous operation. At 7 inches tall and 3 inches wide with a 1/4 in NPT inlet and outlet, it installs cleanly into existing compressed air lines. Licensed professionals and system integrators handling sterile process air applications will find this unit ready for demanding service.

This filter is installed in compressed air systems where downstream air quality must meet sterile or near-sterile standards. Typical applications include fermentation tanks, aseptic filling lines, pharmaceutical manufacturing, laboratory benchtop air supplies, and medical device production. The 1/4 in NPT end connections allow straightforward integration into standard compressed air piping. The automatic drain continuously removes condensate without operator intervention, which is critical in high-throughput or unattended process environments. The stainless steel bowl resists corrosion and is compatible with aggressive cleaning agents used in sanitary facilities.

Key Features

• 0.01 micron filtration rating removes bacteria, particulates, and aerosols from compressed air streams
• Automatic drain eliminates manual condensate removal and reduces downtime
• Stainless steel bowl provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with sanitary wash-down environments
• 1/4 in NPT end connections fit standard compressed air distribution piping
• Rated for operation down to -150 degrees F, supporting low-temperature and cryogenic adjacent applications
• Parker 6000 Series construction for consistent OEM-grade performance in critical process installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new installation component for compressed air systems requiring sterile-grade filtration at 1/4 in NPT connection points, consistent with Parker 6000 Series filter assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compressed air system safety and applicable codes. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply completely before installing or servicing this filter. Verify that inlet pressure and temperature ratings are compatible with the system before energizing. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for compressed air service on all NPT connections and confirm no leaks before returning the system to service.
