Super-Dry FSD-45-W Separator | 45 SCFM, 1/2" NPT | 330-100
Remove bulk liquid water before it reaches downstream air-treatment equipment with the Super-Dry FSD-45-W. Rated for 45 SCFM at 100 PSIG with 1/2" NPT connections, this centrifugal separator includes an automatic float drain.
Key Features
- 45 SCFM rated airflow at 100 PSIG.
- 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet.
- Centrifugal separation removes bulk liquid condensate.
- Internal deflector and automatic float drain included.
- No electronic timer supply needed for the standard float drain.
- Maximum inlet pressure: 232 PSIG; maximum inlet temperature: 176°F (80°C).
Product Overview
The internal deflector creates centrifugal motion, separating liquid droplets from the air stream. Collected condensate drains from the bowl through the float drain. Bulk-water separation helps reduce liquid loading on downstream filters and dryers.

Installation and Maintenance
Install upright in the indicated flow direction, typically downstream of an aftercooler or receiver and upstream of a dryer and fine filtration. Provide access for drain maintenance. Inspect condensate discharge and keep the float drain clear of contamination. A timer-drain conversion requires compatible fittings and may require the FSD-AD bowl adapter.
Isolate and fully depressurize the housing before opening it or replacing a drain or element.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the rated flow and connection size?
FSD-45-W is rated for 45 SCFM at 100 PSIG with 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet connections.
Does this separator remove water vapor?
It removes bulk liquid water by centrifugal action. It does not replace a dryer for removing water vapor or controlling dew point.
Does it remove fine oil aerosols or oil vapor?
Do not use a bulk-water separator as a substitute for a coalescing or activated carbon filter. Select downstream SAF filtration for those contaminants.
Is a drain included?
Yes. The standard separator includes an automatic float drain. An electronic timer drain is an optional accessory sold separately.
Where should it be installed?
Typically downstream of an aftercooler or air receiver and upstream of dryers and fine filtration. Install upright, follow the flow direction and allow access for service.
Does the standard separator need electricity?
The centrifugal separator and standard float drain do not require an electrical supply. An optional electronic timer drain does.
Which service accessories are available?
The FSD-FD float drain is available as a replacement. The FSD-AD bowl adapter and TD-1/4 timer drain are optional conversion components; confirm compatibility and required fittings before ordering.
What are the pressure and temperature limits?
Maximum inlet pressure is 232 PSIG and maximum inlet temperature is 176°F (80°C). Verify the ratings of every component in the installation.
