WFIFN25 stainless steel coarse mesh filters up to 14 bar
The WFIFN25 coarse filter has a wrapped element made of stainless steel mesh 1.4301 and traps solid particles larger than 25 µm. It is the first filtration stage: it removes larger contaminants before they reach the finer stages, which then last longer.
The WFIFN25 filter comes in 11 sizes (DN15 to DN100) with flows of 2,500 to 84,000 l/min at 7 bar; working pressure up to 14 bar, sizes from DN100 up to 10 bar. It is one of the stages of the WFIF filters — the housing is the same for all stages, only the element differs.
WFIFN25 filters by size
The size determines the connection and the flow. Each size has its own PF range spare element.

When to use it
The coarse filter is suitable at the start of the filtration, where larger contaminants from the compressor or the air line enter the air. It does not trap oil or vapours; the manufacturer does not state an ISO 8573-1 class for it.
Like the housing, the stainless steel mesh withstands up to +150 °C.
Where to place it
At the start of the filtration, before the WFIFN5 basic filter or the WFIFI1 sintered pre-filter.
Flow by pressure
The catalogue flows apply to a pressure of 7 bar and a temperature of +20 °C. At a different pressure, they are multiplied by the correction factor: 1.88 at 14 bar.

Element, condensate drainage and maintenance
A PF range element is fitted in the housing — for example, the PFN25-010V for the WFIFN25-010. The same element also fits the PFN25-010 and WFITN25-010. Flanged filters from DN100 have several elements — their number is given in the table for each size. Element working temperature +1.5 to +150 °C.
The filter is supplied with an element, without a condensate drain. For WFIF filters, the manufacturer offers the AOK20SS stainless steel float drain up to 20 bar and +65 °C and, for the head, the MDHI 50-K differential pressure gauge. The drain outlet in the bottom has a G 1/2" thread, G 1" for size DN100.
Replace the element at least once every 12 months. Once a year, also check the housing for visible damage.
Accessories for WFIFN25 filters
MDHI 50-K gauge
Differential pressure gauge with connecting tubes; it shows how clogged the element is.
The same stage in other ranges
Stage N25 also comes in the PFN25 filters up to 14 bar and WFITN25 filters up to 14 bar. The elements are the same for all ranges.
Ventilek’s tip
A coarse mesh protects the fine ones. When larger contaminants come loose in the air line, the N25 stainless steel mesh traps them, and the fine elements after it do not clog as quickly.
- What filtration rating does the WFIFN25 coarse filter have?
- The mesh traps particles larger than 25 µm. The manufacturer does not state an ISO 8573-1 class for it.
- Does it also trap oil?
- No. Oil aerosol is handled by the fine pre-filter M.
- When should the element be replaced?
- At least once every 12 months.
