Perfect Kit good for me

I used this air drying system for a blasting media cabinet. I did not expect it to be as small as it is, but that takes nothing away from its effectiveness. It has demonstrated that it can collect water coming from my air compressor; as it should.Installation is easy, but instructions for adjusting its operating PSI are minimal. I read the small print twice or more and figured it out.The kit comes with everything needed for installation. It's been working perfectly.

Pros
  • Had a problem with it and they replaced it with no problems new 1 works great
Cons
  • The product may not work as expected in extreme temperatures

Easy and affordable

This took me about 10 minutes to install. I installed it 25 feet away from the compressor, it’s only been in use for a couple hours run time but I have no complaints.

Pros
  • The system is designed to help reduce the amount of maintenance required for your air-powered equipment, saving you time and money in the long run
Cons
  • The product may not be as effective at removing moisture as other options

The filters themselves are nice , easy to flip the bracket around for left to right install, compact perfect for my small compressor, it’s exactly what I needed

Pros
  • Includes Semi-Auto Drain & Polycarbonate Bowl, 0-150 Gauge & Bracket,a pair of Air Coupler& Plug Kit, 2 x 1/4" NPT Fittings, 1 x Thread Seal Tape
Cons
  • The product may develop rust or corrosion over time

Setup is backwards of what picture shows

Was disappointed that the picture shows one setup and the one I got was the reverse. Hoping it works. Was easy to install.

Pros
  • The NANPU DFR-02 is a low-maintenance system, requiring minimal upkeep and maintenance to keep it operating at peak performance
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for use with air-operated drills

Generally adequate performance for the price

I have a finned cooler and a large filter ahead of these, but still get water carry-over on some days. I installed branch piping between the filters and regulator. Flow restriction across the filters is acceptable for my purposes. There is a definite flow pressure drop across the regulator. It needs to be adjusted according to the flow demand. The threads on one of the ports were a bit oversized and required extra care to seal.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • The product may not be as durable as other options on the market

Works well on tank systems.

Not so well on tankless systems. After 2-3 minutes on a tankless line it overcomes with water and vapor comes out of line. Has to be drained and ran again. The regulator is HORRIBLE! you have to turn it 50x to achieve your max pressure. Husky is 10x and its 0-150psi.If you have a tank and want dry air for your LVLP or HVLP spray gun then this works well, but not for commercial use. Home use is fine.

Pros
  • So far it’s been a very good product at a reasonable price and is doing a great job
Cons
  • There is no warranty or guarantee provided by the manufacturer

Filters, but not an air dryer.

Installation was straightforward and the unit is leak free when the regulator is turned up all the way (I use an inline regulator at the tool). The description on Revain called it a "filter dryer" but the instructions call it a "filter lubricator." It appears to have zero utility as an air dryer. The sintered metal filters and bowl trap design work well for removing solids and maybe coalesced liquid, but there is no desiccant or ability to add desiccant. I still get showers of moisture when…

Pros
  • The system is designed to be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, helping to reduce your carbon footprint and lower your energy costs
Cons
  • The product may require frequent calibration or adjustment

Good Product Not What I Ordered

Works as designed. I specifically ordered this one as we needed 3/8 fitting for our tools. When it arrive it DID NOT come with the 3/8 fitting. While this was an "easy fix" it did require us to visit our local home supply store for the proper fitting.

Pros
  • Good quality and easy to install.
Cons
  • The semi-auto drain function can be unreliable

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ease of instalation

Product was better than the original part, made of heavy metal, and functioned perfectly, very humid in area right now but device pulls 99.9% of moisture out of compressed air stream and self drains when air pressure is below +/- 10 PSI

Pros
  • Keeps your tools lubricated and ready to go when you need it
Cons
  • The product may not be compatible with certain air compressors

Overall good regulator

It leaked between valve/gauge and filters. Luckily it was just assembled wrong and O ring was not in correct groove causing leak. Repositioned O ring and no leaks.

Pros
  • The compact design of the system ensures that it can be easily integrated into any workspace or application, without taking up too much space
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for use with air-operated paint sprayers

it somewhat works on my review.

the drain on one of the bowls doesn't work at all so it just fills up with water. i have to drain the whole compressor tank to pull the bowl off and drain the water out.

Pros
  • Gets rid of water and very easy to install
Cons
  • The product may fail to regulate air pressure consistently

Great air dryer for my opinion

Bought for my plasma CNC . I haven't had a chance to install it yet but I have another one on my compressor and it works great

Pros
  • Me agrado mucho y para mi trabajo es fundamental.Gracias.
Cons
  • The NANPU DFR-02 1/4" NPT Air Drying System is expensive

I purchased two of these units to replace two older regulators and add additional filtration. The units work fine BUT the gauge threads are not long enough or the regulator sides need corrected to allow the gauge to securely thread into the port tight. I had to add a close nipple which required a coupler to properly tighten into the gauge port. Issue is- The gauge now sticks out quite a bit. I feel this area was not properly designed / checked for fit. If this is not an issue for you as the…

Pros
  • Easy to setup
Cons
  • The product may require frequent maintenance or replacement of parts

Review photo with blue compressor deceptive

Look at this thing in my hand. It's like a toy. The review photo with the air compressor that has a blue bar on it makes this look full size. It's a tiny little toy, like for an airbrush. Jokes on me.

Pros
  • Responsible seller, quick in responding and solve issues.Doesn't remove moister well.
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for use with oil-based air tools

Pressure gage leaks.

The product was fine except for the fact that the pressure gauge leaked air no matter what I did. The air was not leaking out of the fitting but the housing of the gauge. I couldn't find a number to contact for help and I didn't want to send it back since it was installed so ended up upgrading the pressure gauge on my own dime.

Pros
  • Max Supply Pressure:145 psi; Operating Pressure: 0-125 psi
Cons
  • The product may have a limited capacity for storing compressed air

Well. it's not terrible.

I mean, yeah, there's a slow leak from the o-ring at the top of the first filter bowl but that's it. I'm going to try to seal that o-ring better, maybe larger, maybe wrap it or coat it with teflon paste and failing that, I'm going to install a ball valve at the pressure switch to cut air to the unit when not in use. I like the customization that the design allows. I was able to turn the regulator over 180 degrees so the knob faces up and still have the gauge facing out. I was also able to move…

Pros
  • The NANPU DFR-02 is backed by excellent customer service and support, ensuring that you have access to assistance and advice when you need it
Cons
  • The product may require specialized knowledge to operate effectively

Decent air filter/regulator

Does a good job of filtering and notice water being trapped, but it has a constant slow leak from the back side of the regulator.

Pros
  • Compact and easy to mount
Cons
  • The poly bowl may crack easily if dropped or mishandled

Seems Todo the job: my feedback

I purchased this to set up my compressor for basic air tools. Seems to work good and compared to the price that any big box store it's a steal. 0 complaints after 1 month.

Pros
  • Filter & Regulator Combos
Cons
  • The product may not be made from environmentally-friendly materials

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nothing great: my feedback

Make sure you use plenty of Teflon tape, fittings leak, and parts of the body leaks so I had to do some fixing. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • It went together with no problems. Dries air well so my tools will last longer.
Cons
  • It does not come with any additional accessories or fittings

It will leak. good for me

Like many others have said, it leaks. It’s a minor leak, but it’s audible and it’s annoying. It makes my 60 gallon compressor kick on every hour or so. Otherwise, it has been working fine.

Pros
  • The semi-auto drain makes it easy to drain condensation and other moisture from the system, helping to prevent damage and prolonging the life of your equipment
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for use in confined spaces
