Super-Dry SAF Replacement Filter Elements | E-45–E-515 | X, Y, Z

Super-Dry SAF Replacement Filter Elements | E-45–E-515 | X, Y, Z

Renew your Super-Dry SAF filter with a replacement element matched to the housing size and required filtration grade. Choose Size first, then Grade. Each selection supplies one replacement element.

Key Features

• Five element sizes: E-45, E-85, E-185, E-375 and E-515.
• Grade X for particulate filtration, Grade Y for fine particles and oil aerosols, or Grade Z for activated carbon polishing.
• Model-specific fit for the corresponding SAF housing.
• Individual manufacturer part number for each size-and-grade combination.

Product Overview

SAF replacement elements service existing SAF compressed air filter housings. Select the same element size as the housing model; then match the grade to the required air treatment stage. Multiple filtration stages require separate housings and elements. These elements do not replace a compressed air dryer for removing moisture vapor.

Size and Part Number Guide

Airflow and connection sizes above identify the compatible housing. The replacement element itself has no threaded pipe connection. Match the housing model, rather than selecting solely by CFM.

Grade Comparison

Performance depends on operating conditions and the complete treatment arrangement. Install Grade Z after Grade Y coalescing filtration. The Grade Z ppm figure describes oil performance, not a particle-size rating.

What’s Included

• One Super-Dry SAF replacement filter element in the selected size and grade.

Housing, drain, indicator, mounting hardware and additional elements are sold separately. Images illustrate element grades; dimensions vary by selected size.

Installation and Maintenance

Isolate and fully depressurize the filter housing before opening it. Follow the housing and element service instructions, check seals and reinstall the correct size and grade. Maintain upstream liquid separation and drainage. Replace elements according to condition and manufacturer recommendations. Do not rely on pressure drop alone to judge activated carbon life.

Warranty

Filter elements are consumable service items. Normal wear and element replacement are excluded from the equipment warranty. The housing’s 10-year warranty does not provide 10-year element coverage. Contact us regarding a suspected manufacturing defect or for applicable manufacturer terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I select the correct replacement element?
Match Size to your SAF housing model, then choose Grade X, Y or Z for the required filtration. For example, an E-185-Y fits an SAF-185 housing and provides Grade Y filtration.

What is the difference between the three grades?
Grade X provides 1.0-micron particulate filtration. Grade Y provides 0.01-micron coalescing filtration for fine particles and oil aerosols. Grade Z uses activated carbon for oil vapor and odor reduction, with a published residual oil figure of 0.003 ppm.

Is the filter housing included?
No. Each variant supplies one replacement filter element only. Housing, float drain, differential pressure indicator and installation hardware are sold separately.

Can I use a larger element to increase my filter capacity?
No. Element size must match the housing. The published airflow belongs to the complete matched housing and element assembly at 100 PSIG, and does not increase by substituting a different element size.

Does Grade Z replace a coalescing filter?
No. Grade Z is for oil vapor and odor polishing downstream of Grade Y coalescing filtration. It should not be used to handle bulk liquid oil.

When should the element be replaced?
Follow the manufacturer service instructions and monitor operating conditions and filter performance. Check pressure differential where appropriate. Activated carbon saturation cannot be determined from pressure drop alone; no universal service interval is specified here.

Can these elements be used in an FSD water separator?
These are SAF-Series X, Y and Z filter elements. FSD separators use a different internal assembly; do not assume SAF elements fit them.

Does every size qualify for free shipping?
Free standard shipping applies to eligible orders of $199 or more. Shipping depends on the selected variant and total eligible order value. Destination restrictions and expedited charges may apply.
