Description
B003308170065 Filter Housing
The ELGi B003308170065 is a Filter Housing accessory for compressed air systems. Proper filtration and separation help reduce particles, liquid water, and oil carryover that can damage tools, contaminate processes, and increase downstream maintenance.
This filter housing is intended for use in downstream filtration assemblies. A sound housing and proper sealing help ensure safe operation and prevent bypass of unfiltered air.
Key Features
- Replacement housing component: Used to support safe filter assembly operation and proper sealing.
- Helps prevent bypass: A sound housing and sealing surfaces help keep contaminants from bypassing the element.
- Service friendly: Supports routine element changes and inspection.

Benefits
- Improves equipment life: Cleaner air helps reduce wear, sticking controls, and premature tool failure.
- Supports consistent air quality: Filtration helps control particles, liquid water, and oil carryover in the air line.
- Helps reduce unplanned downtime: Contaminant control reduces maintenance events caused by sludge, corrosion, or wet air.
- Supports efficient operation: Properly maintained filtration helps minimize unnecessary pressure drop.
Installation & Application Notes
- Place filtration and separation stages in the recommended order: bulk separation/pre‑filter → dryer → fine/coalescing → optional carbon (if vapor removal is needed).
- Size the filter/separator for your actual airflow and pressure; undersizing increases pressure drop and service frequency.
- Route condensate drains to an appropriate collection/management system and check drain operation during commissioning.
- Monitor differential pressure (where applicable) and replace elements when restriction increases to maintain performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
B003308170065 Filter Housing
▶️ Question: What’s the difference between a pre‑filter and a fine filter?
Answer: Pre‑filters are used upstream to capture solids and bulk condensate; fine/coalescing filters capture smaller oil and water aerosols that pass earlier stages.
▶️ Question: When would I add a carbon filter stage?
Answer: Use activated carbon downstream of coalescing filtration when you need to reduce oil vapor/odor—common for finishing processes, paint, and sensitive instrumentation.
▶️ Question: How do I size an inline filter?
Answer: Size for your maximum operating flow at pressure while keeping pressure drop acceptable. Oversizing generally reduces restriction and extends service intervals.
▶️ Question: Where should filters be installed relative to the dryer?
Answer: A pre‑filter is commonly installed before the dryer to protect it, and a fine/coalescing filter is installed after the dryer to capture aerosols and improve final air quality.
▶️ Question: What maintenance should I plan for?
Answer: Monitor differential pressure (if available), verify drain operation, and replace elements on a schedule based on contamination load and run hours.
