Overview
The Parker 06F17AC is a compact particulate filter from Parker’s Prep-Air II series designed for industrial compressed air applications. The 06F17AC removes solid particle contaminants and bulk liquids from pneumatic systems, protecting downstream equipment from dirt, water, and oil aerosol damage. This unit is part of the economy 06F compact line, delivering high moisture removal and excellent water separation in a space-efficient package.
