1.25" NPT Air Compressor Intake Silencer & Filter Kit

Short Product Description

Tired of the excessive noise from your reciprocating air compressor? The 1.25" NPT Air Compressor Intake Silencer & Filter Kit provides a simple way to help significantly reduce compressor intake noise without building a separate compressor room or sound enclosure.

This kit replaces the compressor pump's existing intake filter or factory silencer with a larger sound-reducing intake assembly. The kit includes (1) silencer and (1) silencer/filter assembly.

The kit will not make your compressor completely silent, but it can greatly reduce the sharp intake noise produced by many reciprocating compressor pumps and make the surrounding work area much more tolerable.

Full Product Description

Reciprocating air compressors are known for their distinctive intake noise, particularly when the compressor is installed inside a shop, garage, maintenance area, or other occupied workspace.

The 1.25" NPT Air Compressor Intake Silencer & Filter Kit offers a straightforward solution. Instead of constructing a dedicated compressor closet or expensive sound enclosure, this kit replaces the pump's existing intake filter or silencer and helps dampen the intake pulses responsible for a significant portion of reciprocating compressor noise.

The kit includes a silencer and silencer/filter assembly. Incoming air continues to be filtered while the larger silencer assembly helps reduce the sound generated at the compressor intake.

Actual noise reduction will vary depending on the compressor pump, operating speed, existing intake configuration, and installation. This kit is not designed to make an air compressor completely silent, but it can provide a noticeable reduction in intake noise.

Designed for compatible reciprocating air compressor pumps with a 1.25" NPT intake connection.

Please note: Connecting nipple is not included.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose This Product?

A large portion of the distinctive noise produced by many reciprocating compressors comes from the intake side of the compressor pump. This silencer kit addresses that noise directly at the source.

For compressors installed inside a shop or work area, the kit provides a simple way to reduce intake noise without enclosing or relocating the entire compressor. Installation is straightforward, and the included filter assembly maintains proper intake filtration while helping quiet the compressor.

Please note: Noise reduction varies from compressor to compressor. This product will not make an air compressor completely silent.

This kit may be used with compatible reciprocating compressor pumps equipped with a 1.25" NPT intake connection. Any required connecting nipple or additional piping is not included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this make my air compressor completely silent?

No. This kit is designed to reduce the intake noise produced by a reciprocating air compressor. Mechanical noise from the compressor pump, motor, belts, and other components will still be present.

How much quieter will my compressor be?

Noise reduction varies depending on the compressor pump, RPM, existing intake system, and installation. The kit is designed to significantly reduce the sharp intake sound produced by many reciprocating compressors.

What size connection does this kit use?

This model is designed for compressor pumps with a 1.25" NPT intake connection.

What is included with the kit?

The kit includes (1) silencer and (1) silencer/filter assembly.

Is the connecting nipple included?

No. The connecting nipple is not included with this kit.

Does this replace my existing compressor intake filter?

Yes. The kit is designed to replace the existing intake filter or factory intake silencer on a compatible compressor pump.

Does the silencer still filter incoming air?

Yes. The supplied silencer/filter provides intake filtration while also helping reduce compressor noise.

Can this be used on different brands of air compressors?

Yes. It can be used with compatible reciprocating compressor pumps that have a 1.25" NPT intake connection and sufficient room for installation.

Do I need electrical power for the silencer?

No. The intake silencer is a completely mechanical system and does not require electricity.

Should I verify my compressor before ordering?

Yes. Verify that your compressor pump has a 1.25" NPT intake connection and adequate clearance for the silencer assembly before ordering. You should also determine whether a nipple or additional fittings will be required for your specific installation.
