Overview
The Norgren F73C-2AN-QD0 is part of the Excelon modular air preparation system, delivering high-efficiency oil and particle removal for compressed air networks. With a maximum operating pressure of 17 bar (246 psi) and micron-rated coalescing filtration at 0.01µm, this filter protects downstream pneumatic tools and equipment from moisture and oil contamination. The aluminum bowl with manual drain and liquid level indicator simplifies maintenance and extends component life.
