Overview
The SMC AMG550C-N06BC water separator is a compact, industrial-grade unit designed to remove water and moisture from compressed air systems. With a 3/4″ NPT port connection and rated for 145 PSI maximum operating pressure, this ambient dryer performs reliably in manufacturing plants, pneumatic tool stations, and compressed air distribution networks. The AMG550C-N06BC features an automatic drain valve that continuously expels separated water without interrupting air flow, making it ideal for continuous-duty applications where dry compressed air is critical.
Key Features
- High-efficiency water separation—99% removal ratio removes nearly all free water droplets from compressed air
- Automatic drain valve (Normally Open) continuously removes separated condensate without manual intervention
- 3/4″ NPT threaded connections for standard compressed air line integration
- Compact 550C body size fits easily into existing piping layouts with minimal footprint
- Rated for 145 PSI operation—compatible with standard industrial compressed air systems
- Metal bowl construction with sight glass for visual condensate level monitoring

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering. The AMG550C-N06BC is part of the SMC AMG550C series and may directly replace earlier AMG550C models depending on drain configuration and connection type requirements.
Works With
- Compressed air filtration systems (typical multi-stage setup: filter → water separator → regulator)
- Pneumatic regulators and lubricators in modular air preparation units
- Automatic condensate collection and disposal systems
- Manual or electronic drain valve controls (compatible with auto-drain design)
