Super-Dry SAF-185 Filter | 180 SCFM, 1" NPT | 340-120
Choose the filtration grade your equipment needs with the Super-Dry SAF-185. Rated for 180 SCFM at 100 PSIG with 1" NPT connections, this filter is available in Grade X particulate, Grade Y coalescing or Grade Z activated carbon configurations.
Key Features
- 180 SCFM rated airflow at 100 PSIG.
- 1" NPT inlet and outlet.
- Choose one E-185 element grade: X, Y or Z.
- Internal float drain and differential pressure indicator included.
- Maximum inlet pressure: 232 PSIG; maximum inlet temperature: 176°F (80°C).
Product Overview
The SAF housing supports a selected filtration stage for cleaner compressed air. Match the grade to the contaminant being removed and the requirements of downstream tools, controls or process equipment. Use multiple stages when the application requires progressive filtration.

Published grade performance figures depend on operating conditions. Select the required grade from the product options. Grade Z has no particle-size rating specified in the sheet; the 0.003 ppm value is an oil figure, not a micron rating.
Installation and Maintenance
Install upright in the indicated flow direction and provide space to service the bowl. Remove bulk liquid water upstream. Select Grade X for particulate protection, Grade Y for fine particles and oil aerosols, and Grade Z for oil vapor and odor polishing downstream of Grade Y. Include drying equipment where moisture-vapor removal is needed. Inspect the drain and indicator, and replace the E-185 element according to condition and manufacturer instructions. Activated carbon saturation cannot be judged from pressure drop alone.
Isolate and fully depressurize the housing before opening it or replacing a drain or element.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the airflow and connection size?
SAF-185 is rated for 180 SCFM at 100 PSIG and has 1" NPT inlet and outlet connections. Size for actual airflow and operating conditions.
What is the difference between Grade X, Y and Z?
Grade X provides 1.0-micron particulate filtration. Grade Y provides 0.01-micron fine-particle and oil-aerosol filtration. Grade Z is activated carbon for oil vapor, odors and taste; its published residual oil figure is 0.003 ppm.
Does one filter include all three grades?
No. Select one grade for the filter assembly you are ordering. Multiple housings with different grades are needed for separate filtration stages.
Does this filter replace an air dryer?
No. Filtration and water-vapor drying serve different purposes. Add a correctly sized dryer when the application requires a lower moisture content or dew point.
What comes with the filter?
SAF-185 filter housing, the selected E-185 element grade, internal float drain and differential pressure indicator. Additional stages, piping and mounting hardware are sold separately.
Which replacement element fits?
Match E-185-X, E-185-Y or E-185-Z to the housing size and desired grade. These replacement elements are sold separately; the complete-filter SKU is not the same as a replacement-element part number.
Where should Grade Z be installed?
Install Grade Z downstream of Grade Y coalescing filtration. It is for vapor and odor polishing, rather than bulk liquid removal; match the overall treatment arrangement to the application.
What are the pressure and temperature limits?
Maximum inlet pressure is 232 PSIG and maximum inlet temperature is 176°F (80°C). Every component in the installation must be suitable for the actual system conditions.
