This is the filter-only version for shops that already have pressure control handled elsewhere and just need clean air at a 1\/2-inch feed or workstation drop. At 140 CFM and 250 PSI maximum, it handles the output of most single-unit shop compressors on a 1\/2-inch line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5-micron element removes pipe scale, rust, and solid particulate. The 8.5-ounce bowl collects liquid water and oil condensate. If you also need pressure regulation at this location, the C-FRS12 filter\/regulator combo is the better choice — same port size and flow range, with the regulator and gauge built in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat This Unit Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5-Micron Particulate Filtration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Removes solid contaminants from the compressed air stream before they damage tools, spray guns, or sensitive pneumatic components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8.5 oz Bowl:\u003c\/strong\u003e Collects condensed liquid water and oil carryover for periodic manual draining.
