Description
ZEKS ZFC470 ZFC™ Threaded Compressed Air Filter (470 SCFM, 2" NPT) – Grade H
The ZEKS ZFC470 is a threaded inline compressed air filter designed to reduce contamination and help protect pneumatic tools, downstream equipment, and process air quality. This model is rated for 470 SCFM with 2" NPT connections and is built for industrial duty with a corrosion-resistant coated housing, a low-turbulence flow path, and a dual-scale gauge to help plan element changeouts.
Key Features
- Grade H coalescing performance: High-efficiency coalescing option for fine aerosol removal (use Grade G upstream when required).
- Low pressure-drop airflow path: Smooth-bore internal design helps reduce turbulence and pressure loss.
- Service planning made easier: Dual-scale gauge supports condition-based maintenance.
- Rugged construction: Coated die-cast aluminum housing for harsh industrial environments.
- Condensate handling: Integrated drain port supports condensate management.

Frequently Asked Questions
▶️ Question: When should the ZFC-470H filter be used in a compressed air system?
Answer: This filter should be used when you need to reduce contamination in compressed air and protect downstream equipment such as dryers, valves, tools, and instrumentation.
▶️ Question: How do I know if the ZFC-470H filter is the right size for my system?
Answer: Match your system airflow to the filter's rated capacity and confirm that the connection size and pressure limits fit your installation. This model is listed for 470 SCFM (rated at standard conditions).
▶️ Question: What does the element grade mean on the ZFC-470H filter?
Answer: The element grade defines the filtration duty for the filter. For this model, Grade H indicates High-efficiency coalescing for finer particulate and aerosol control.
▶️ Question: What installation conditions should I confirm before using the ZFC-470H filter?
Answer: Confirm that your piping connections, operating pressure, and temperature range align with the product limits. This model lists 2" NPT connections, a maximum operating pressure of 250 psig MAWP, and operating temperature guidance of 35°F min (Grades P/G/H/A); 176°F max (Grades P/G/H); 86°F max (Grade A).
▶️ Question: What maintenance is typically recommended for the ZFC-470H filter?
Answer: Inspect the element regularly, monitor differential pressure, and replace the element when pressure drop or air quality performance indicates service is needed.
