Parker P3YFA96ESCN Air Filter 3/4 in Npt 170 Scfm 5 Micron

Product Description

The PARKER P3YFA96ESCN is a compressed air filter designed to remove particulate contamination from pneumatic and compressed air systems. Rated at 170 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) with a 5-micron sintered polyethylene filter media, it delivers consistent filtration performance at a 3/4 in NPT port size. The body is constructed from aluminum with a polypropylene bowl, and the unit includes an integral sight glass for visual bowl inspection without disassembly. A manual drain handles accumulated condensate and debris. This filter is installed by licensed pipefitters, industrial mechanics, and pneumatic system technicians in both production and utility air supply lines.

The P3YFA96ESCN belongs to Parker's P3Y Series and is suited for industrial and commercial compressed air distribution systems where particulate control is required upstream of pneumatic tools, actuators, valves, and precision air equipment. Its modular connection design allows integration into multi-unit filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) assemblies. The 4.4 oz bowl capacity and bowl guard make it appropriate for medium-flow applications in manufacturing, maintenance, and process environments where air quality directly affects equipment reliability and service life.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline compressed air filter for use in Parker P3Y Series modular filter assemblies and standard 3/4 in NPT compressed air piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the air supply line completely before removing or installing the filter. Ensure all NPT threaded connections are made with appropriate thread sealant per system requirements and applicable codes. Do not exceed the rated flow or operating temperature range during service.
