Overview
The Norgren 5351-03 filter element is a precision oil removal cartridge engineered for compressed air applications. Designed as a drop-in replacement for Norgren F68H series housings, this high-flow element removes solid particulate contamination and liquid aerosol oils to maintain clean, dry compressed air essential for pneumatic equipment reliability.
Key Features
- High-flow glass fiber filtration media for low pressure drop
- Designed specifically for Norgren F68H series filter housings
- Removes oils and particulate down to submicron levels
- OEM-specification construction with precisionfit geometry
- Durable element design resists collapse under normal operating pressure
- Cost-effective replacement vs. original Norgren cartridges
