Parker Modular Compressed Air Filters for Particle Removal
Extend the service life of air-powered tools and equipment by removing particles and water droplets from compressed air. Joiner clamps (sold separately) connect these air filters into your Parker setup. These filters connect to other Parker units of the same series—even if the pipe sizes are slightly different—so you can customize your air preparation system.
Filters with an automatic drain periodically release condensate into the air, eliminating the need for manual emptying.
Mounting brackets (sold separately) can be added to series P3Y filters to secure the filter to a wall or your equipment.
Joiner clamps (sold separately) create compact, airtight connections between components. These clamps come with mounting brackets, except for series P3Y.

Parker Compressed Air Filter Elements for Particle Removal
Replace the filter element in your Parker modular compressed air filter to trap solid particles and water droplets. To extend the life of your filter, choose the coarsest (highest micron) element that meets your air quality needs. Check the manufacturer series on your filter to ensure compatibility.
Parker Compressed Air Filter Elements for Oil Removal
Also known as coalescing filters, these filter elements fit into Parker modular compressed air filters to remove oil and fine particles. Check the manufacturer series on your filter to ensure compatibility.
Elements that remove oil filter out liquid oil. Those that remove particles down to 1 micron are less likely to clog than those that filter to .01 microns. Use them for general purpose compressed air, or as a prefilter to protect higher purity filters from clogs. Those that remove particles down to .01 microns provide the high filtration necessary to protect sensitive equipment. They’re often used for paint spraying or electronics manufacturing.
Elements that remove oil vapor trap the smallest contaminants, including odors, with activated carbon. Use them for applications where air purity is critical, such as food processing or pharmaceutical production. They're also known as Adsorber filters.
Parker Modular Compressed Air Filters for Oil Removal
Also known as coalescing filters, these filters remove compressor oil to extend the service life of air-powered tools and equipment. They connect to other Parker units of the same series—even if the pipe sizes are slightly different—so you can customize your air preparation system. Their clamps (sold separately) create compact, airtight connections that are easy to swap out. To prevent clogs, install a particle filter before the oil filter.
Filters with an automatic drain periodically release condensate into the air, eliminating the need for manual emptying.
Filters with a service indicator make it easy to know when it’s time for a filter element replacement. When the indicator at the top of the unit turns red, the filter element is ready to be replaced.
Use joiner clamps to connect the filter to another Parker modular unit with the same series number. These clamps come with mounting brackets, except for series P3Y.
Add mounting brackets to series P3Y filters to secure the filter to a wall or your equipment.
When using series 11 and series 12 filters with their compatible components, your maximum flow rate will be the lower of the two components.

Parker Compressed Air Filter Bowls
Replace a damaged bowl or change the bowl material or drain type on your Parker modular compressed air filter. These bowls come with an O-ring to ensure a tight seal. Check the manufacturer series on your filter to ensure compatibility.
Bowls with an automatic drain periodically release condensate into the air, eliminating the need for manual emptying.

Parker Modular Compressed Air Filter/Regulators for Particle Removal
A filter and regulator joined top-to-bottom, these filter/regulators fit in the same space as a filter alone. They provide clean compressed air at your required pressure. Filters with a clear bowl or an opaque bowl with sight glass let you see inside to monitor contents. Regulator is relieving style, so it exhausts when the downstream pressure exceeds the set pressure.

Manifold Blocks for Parker Modular Compressed
Air Filter/Regulator/Lubricators (FRLs)
Distribute compressed air to multiple locations from a single source. These manifolds connect with Parker modular components that have the same manufacturer series.
Use joiner clamps to connect the manifold block to another Parker modular unit with the same series number.
