Parker P3YFA96ESAN Compressed Air Filter 3/4 in Npt

Product Description

The PARKER P3YFA96ESAN is a compressed air filter designed to remove particulate contamination from pneumatic systems. Rated at 170 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) with a 5-micron sintered polyethylene filter media, it delivers reliable filtration for industrial and commercial air lines. The aluminum body pairs with a polypropylene bowl and includes an integrated sight glass for quick visual inspection of the bowl level. An automatic drain handles condensate removal without manual intervention. Licensed HVAC technicians, maintenance mechanics, and industrial service professionals typically install this filter as part of a compressed air treatment train.

The P3YFA96ESAN is suited for compressed air distribution systems in industrial facilities, manufacturing environments, and commercial mechanical rooms. It fits inline on 3/4 in NPT air lines and is part of the Parker P3Y Series, which supports modular connection to other P3Y Series components such as regulators and lubricators. Typical applications include protecting downstream pneumatic tools, control valves, and actuators from particulate damage.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or compressed air system technician. Depressurize and lock out the air supply line before removing or installing any inline filter. Apply appropriate thread sealant to NPT connections per shop practice and applicable plumbing codes. Verify flow direction and orientation — most inline filters require vertical bowl-down mounting for proper automatic drain operation.
