Parker 6004N-0A1-BX Sterile Air Filter 0.01 Micron 1/2 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 6004N-0A1-BX is a sterile air compressed air filter from the Parker 6000 Series, designed to deliver ultra-high-purity filtered air in critical process applications. Rated at 0.01 micron, it removes submicron particulates and microorganisms from compressed air streams, making it suitable for pharmaceutical, food processing, laboratory, and other contamination-sensitive environments. The unit features an automatic drain, a stainless steel bowl, and 1/2 in NPT end connections. At 10 inches tall and 3 inches wide, it is compact enough for inline installation on typical compressed air distribution lines. Licensed mechanical contractors and process piping professionals handle installation.

This filter is applied inline on compressed air systems where sterile or high-purity air output is required. Its 0.01 micron rating places it in the coalescing and sterile filtration category, appropriate for downstream instrument air, clean-room supply, bioreactor sparging, and food-grade pneumatic circuits. The stainless steel bowl construction suits aggressive environments and cleaning-in-place protocols. The automatic drain continuously removes collected liquid without manual intervention, reducing maintenance intervals on active production lines.

Key Features

• 0.01 micron filtration rating removes submicron particulates and biological contaminants from compressed air
• Automatic drain eliminates manual liquid removal and supports continuous operation
• Stainless steel bowl construction resists corrosion and withstands harsh process environments
• 1/2 in NPT end connections for straightforward inline piping integration
• Rated to a minimum operating temperature of -150 degrees F, suitable for cold-service compressed air applications
• Parker 6000 Series platform for consistent OEM part availability and serviceability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline sterile air filter for compressed air distribution systems requiring 0.01 micron filtration with 1/2 in NPT connections, consistent with Parker 6000 Series filter housings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or licensed mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable piping codes. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air system completely before installation or service. Verify that upstream and downstream piping is compatible with NPT threaded connections and rated for the system operating pressure. Do not overtighten NPT fittings; apply thread sealant appropriate for the service fluid and pressure rating of the system.
