SMC AFF-EL2B Aftermarket Main Line Filter Element, 3 µm

$23.34 USD
SMC AFF-EL2B, direct aftermarket replacement. Aftermarket replacement for the SMC AFF-EL2B main line filter element. It fits SMC AFF2C main line filters (AFF2C-01, AFF2C-02) and is made to the same size, so it fits the bowl in place of the original.

The AFF is the first filter after the compressor and receiver. It takes out rust, pipe scale and liquid droplets down to 3 µm, which protects the dryer and makes the finer mist separators downstream last longer. Sold as a single element, shipped worldwide, and covered by our 30 day money back guarantee and price beat guarantee. TECHNICAL PROPERTIES & CROSS REFERENCES

Use Cases & Applications

Main line protection
The AFF sits on the main line after the receiver and catches scale, rust and liquid water before they reach the plant.

Dryer protection
A 3 µm main line filter ahead of a refrigerated or desiccant dryer stops dirt fouling the heat exchanger or desiccant.

Pre-filter for mist separators
Fitted before an AM, AMD or AME mist separator, it takes the coarse load so the fine element lasts longer.

Planned maintenance
Change the element when the pressure drop reaches 0.1 MPa or every two years, whichever comes first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a genuine SMC part?

No. It is an aftermarket element made to fit. It is not made by or affiliated with SMC; the SMC number AFF-EL2B is shown only so you can match the part you are replacing.

How do I know it fits?

Check the model on the filter body. This element fits SMC AFF2C main line filters (AFF2C-01, AFF2C-02). If the old element is marked AFF-EL2B, this is the replacement.

What else should I check at a change?

Check the bowl O-ring when you change the element and replace it if it is flattened or cracked, and make sure the auto drain is clear.

Do you ship to my country?

Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping is calculated at checkout, and every order is covered by our 30 day money back guarantee and price beat guarantee.
