What it is for
It belongs at the start of the air treatment, before the regulator and lubricator, and protects tools and machines from water, rust and dirt. The G 3/8" thread is suitable for a workstation with several tools or a small workshop.
The spare filter element is VFK220, the finer one VFK25 and the bowl NFK2. The filter combined with a regulator in one body is FDM38. The same body with a G 1/2" thread is FWA12.
Ventilek’s tip
Filter as close to the consumer as possible. Water also condenses in the piping after the compressor. A filter at the workstation also traps what forms along the way.
