Features

  • Desiccant Air Dryer System: Engineered with 3/8-inch NPT threads to fit standard larger air lines, this compressor desiccant air filter dryer effectively traps water vapor, oil aerosols, and dirt. It functions as a high-capacity air line dryer, reducing moisture buildup to support the longevity of pneumatic tools and equipment.
  • Color-Changing Indicator: Features active desiccant beads that shift color from blue to pink upon saturation, providing an immediate visual signal that service is required. This reusable design allows for quick maintenance, ensuring the unit continues to operate as an efficient water separator for air compressor systems.
  • High-Flow Specifications: Supporting a working pressure of 1 to 150 PSI and a flow rate of 22 CFM, this 3/8 inch air filter is designed to maintain consistent airflow with minimal pressure drop. It is compatible with various setups, serving as a reliable inline compressor air filter for continuous workshop use.
  • Tool Protection: Connects directly to air tools to act as a final defense against contaminants, making it an essential spray gun filter for HVLP paint projects to help minimize defects. It is equally effective as a plasma cutter air filter or sandblasting filter, protecting sensitive internal mechanisms from moisture damage.
  • Metal Construction: Built with a rugged zinc housing to withstand tough shop environments, this unit offers superior durability compared to plastic alternatives. It installs easily onto the air line or tool inlet, functioning as a robust air compressor regulator dryer alternative for industrial and DIY applications.

Features

  • 3/8" NPT Air Compressor Desiccant filter. Operating pressure 1-150 PSI at 22 CFM. Compared to other Air Compressor Filters, this filter barely reduces air flow.
  • A Reusable option, this air dryer for compressors reliably removes all contaminants from the air line ensuring clean air to your air tools.
  • The Compressor Air Dryer Features metal housing and connection points to safely secure your air compressor moisture filter to your air line without leaks.
  • Water Separator air compressor filter features Color changing desiccant to notify you when it's time to change out the desiccant beads.
  • The LE LEMATEC air water separator for air compressors is lightweight yet durable as to not weigh down your airline while adhering to strict shop quality standards.

  • Works and doesn’t need replacing
Size: 30-1/2 X 54-1/4 Inches
Works great! Yeah ,”turns blue to pink too fast” ? What makes it turn pink? Water ! It works as it should . You have too much moisture in your lines if it turns too quick for you.., it’s not broke ,your filtration system is

  • Temporary Air FIlter
Size: 30-1/2 X 54-1/4 Inches
I have bought 5 of these filter (now 6 with this last order) and i can tell you that they deff work. My area is very humid all the time so getting the water out of my air line before painting is not easy...i usually have one of these on my tank and one inline before the spray gun.....i change the beads damn near every time i spray now.....but eventually after about 3 months the housing will crack or start minor leaking then eventually its no good.....i will say keep any chemical like acetone away from them because it weakens the clear plastic and causes it to snap (don't ask me how i know) but if you need a quick fix these will work for a little while ... show more

  • Does its job.
Size: 3/8"
Well made, looks to be well machined with appropriate materials. Fits right into my compressor lines. No problems with moisture in paint since I started using it. Beats the heck out of other such products I have bought.

  • These are great compressor filters
Size: 30-1/2 X 54-1/4 Inches
These are very nice and sturdy and do not leak, very good for keeping the air dry and you can easily see the desiccant silica gel to know when to regenerate the beads.

  • PRODUCT WORKS FOR CERTAIN INTENDED USES
Size: 3/8"
I gave this product 5 star because it does do what it says, however as I'm sure many of you as myself try to save a buck and try to use things hoping for results other than intended, that being said the picture on the package shows the use of it before a paint gun, but the add also shows it on the air compressor outlet as well, let me tell you if you use it for a paint gun I'm sure it should be fine but also if you have no other filter/dryer in place this will not last through one cycle of the air compressor, I live in FLA used this on a cold day [60] yeah that's cold here, anyway compressor was completely drained, closed the valve and used a air tool for maybe 10 minutes total and beads were completely pink, I bought two of these so swapped it out for the other one, used my air blower to blow off the debris I had caused from the air tool and the 2nd one was pink before I got things blown off, was hoping for more is all, ya gonna have to spend a couple hundred to get a good system, just can't get around that ... show more

  • Works a treat.
Size: 30-1/2 X 54-1/4 Inches
Using it on a plasma cutter - fitted between the compressor and the standard water trap that the plasma cutter came with. First use, half of the desiccant turned pink, so that tells me that it's doing its job. No moisture ended up in the water trap. Would suggest getting a bag of desiccant at the same time, as it's cheap enough, and you'll probably need to change it out fairly regularly - which is very easy to do. ... show more

  • This thing is crap, clear part cheap plastic.
Size: 30-1/2 X 54-1/4 Inches
I don't really know what else to say but this thing is crap. I can't even return it because I needed to use it for a project I was working on and had to slather the thing in epoxy to make it kinda work. I received the product with stress cracks around the nut. I noticed it and was debating on sending it back. But i needed it for a project I was doing that day. Sure enough the thing was leaking like a sieve. It was so bad my air compressor couldn't even keep up . I coated it in epoxy to hopefully last me until my project was done. The whole time I just had a stressful feeling having it near me like I was holding a 90psi bomb that was about to blow any minute. The second my project was finished I threw this in the trash. ... show more
