Annoying leak - my new review

I had persistent difficulties with a very slight leak at the regulator. I "think" I have finally chased it down after working with it for 3 months. Frustrating.I do like the filtering system but, with its tendency to leak, I've been disappointed. It really seemed like it was well made; the fit and finish is top-notch. Unfortunately, it tends to allow air to flow outside the system and that kinda defeats the whole purpose. Can't recommend it.

Pros
  • easy to install, ensures clean air and consistant pressure.
Cons
  • Poly bowl may wear off over time

Poor air fittings: my feedback

Worked okay but the air fittings are plastic and not strong they broke really easy. Plan on buying some good ones Semi-auto drain may become clogged with debris.

Pros
  • Poly bowl is tough, damage-resistant and can withstand a wide range of temperatures
Cons
  • Semi-auto drain may become clogged with debris

Worth the money you will be happy with it.

Very easy to install. I plumbed my garage for air using this filter and pressure/dryer it works like a champ. Only thing I can complain about is there were no instructions on how to operate the controls but, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out.

Pros
  • Filter & Regulator Combos
Cons
  • Can be easily damaged during transit

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
  • Brass Filter Element: 5 Micron; Coalescing Filter Element: 0.01 Micron, Double filtration with different filtration accuracy can filter out water vapor, dust and foreign particles, make air cleaner.
Cons
  • Not suitable for small air compressors

Poorly finished threads lead to installation nightmare

We had remove a ton of paint from inside the threads that wasn't smooth and use a ton of teflon tape to establish a seal with the compressor hose. Really not happy.

Pros
  • So far it’s been a very good product at a reasonable price and is doing a great job
Cons
  • Semi-auto drain is not ideal for industrial settings

Real nice compared to more expensive units!

Does what it says! I was having issues spraying poly on an antique table restoration. Turns out I had too much moisture in the air line. Installed this baby, and the next attempt was perfect! Love the auto drains on it too!

Pros
  • Filters, Regulators & Lubricators
Cons
  • Coalescing filter may stop working effectively

3/8 " Version on my review.

I had leaks between both filters and air coming out of the back of the regulator. I ended up putting pipe nipples between the filters to solve the leaks. the regulator itself still leaks out of the screw hole in the back.It works fine, just leaks a lot.

Pros
  • Provides stable and consistent air flow, minimizing fluctuations and pressure drops
Cons
  • The metallic gauge may be difficult to replace

I really wanted to like this.

Now how hard should this be to install? A 'mental giant' like me should be able to do so with out a hitch.right?All went well until I had to adjust the regulator. It would not adjust. I could not turn the regulator knob at all. It was completely lose.I actually broke a piece of the knob off trying to turn it. It still works.I finally disconnected it from the compressor. remove the 'cap' (knob cover) and took a wrench to the metal regulator knob under the cap. It would not turn without it. After

Pros
  • Long-lasting and reliable, ensuring consistent and reliable air supply for years to come
Cons
  • Not ideal for use with certain types of air tools

Working great on my review.

So far everything has been great. I did not use any of the included fittings due to already having Poly tube fittings. So far no leaks and setup was very easy.I will update if anything changes.

Pros
  • Good quality and easy to install.
Cons
  • The semi-auto drain system may cause obstruction in the airflow

There were no instructions on which side was the in and which was the out. I hooked it up backwards. Thanks to another reviewer, David N. Hull, I found that he had the same issue. Or at least mark "in" and "out" on the unit. Otherwise good unit.

Pros
  • Me agrado mucho y para mi trabajo es fundamental.Gracias.
Cons
  • Potentially expensive as compared to other air drying systems

Nice Setup in my review

Neer had a filter on the air compresser until I decided to drain it one day. Now it is part of the compressor setup and my air tools are much happier.

Pros
  • Offers a consistent and reliable air supply, which translates to better tool performance
Cons
  • High-maintenance item that requires regular attention

reverse mounting - my new review

I was surprised while trying to reverse mount the NANPU ! After you remove the mounting bracket screws the unit came apart in several pieces. I was expecting the mounting bracket to come off not the entire unit to be rebuilt .it wasn't hard just unexpected.

Pros
  • Metal gauge provides accurate and reliable pressure readings
Cons
  • Filter elements may clog up quickly

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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
  • Great value for the money.
Cons
  • Poly bowl may crack if dropped or mishandled

Fitment and Leaks on my review.

The Bad:The back of the pressure gauge bottoms out on the housing before it threads in enough to seal, so it leaks really bad at the regulator. I ended up removing the regulator and just running the two filers. The cages that go over the bowls are difficult to reinstall. You really have to fiddle with it to get it to twist in. The autodrain leaks everywhere even if you have a tube pushed into the fitting.The Good:The autodrain functions and is a nice feature. The filters seem to be getting most

Pros
  • Includes Semi-Auto Drain & Polycarbonate Bowl with Metal Guard, 0-150 Gauge & Bracket,a pair of Air Coupler& Plug Kit, 2 x 1/2" NPT Fittings, 1 x Thread Seal Tape
Cons
  • May be difficult to find replacement parts

theres a chance the gauge might leak air.

Everything worked great from the installation to the function, its just the gauge itself has a small leak, I sprayed windex on it and sure enough bubbles from the inside of the gauge, If this company could send me a new gauge things would be great.

Pros
  • Easily installed
Cons
  • Not efficient in extremely low temperatures

Works as expected for my opinion

I put this dryer in-line just after my compressor and before about 20’ of galvanized pipe taking my air to another section of my shop. It seems to be working rather well and allows for easy dumping of any water build up. Now if I can figure out a way to eliminate water from my compressor tank….

Pros
  • Ensures clean, dry and regulated air supply
Cons
  • Pressure regulator may fail intermittently

Good quality good for me

Better quality and for a cheaper price than the one I purchased from lowes. That's my review. Holding 150psi for a few days now

Pros
  • Great product easy to put into my system and start using.
Cons
  • The whole unit is much smaller than I expected. It does do what it says. Just with a lower volume.

All around a terrific little system

I was really impressed with this unit. All the fittings I needed were included, plumber's tape (though it is really thin), and it came mostly assembled. The way they designed this makes each module interchangeable. I actually removed the module with the pressure gauge to do a pressure test, everything worked perfect without the filters attached. The included instructions are very brief and not translated well. Fortunately everything is marked with arrows for flow on the top of each module and…

Pros
  • Ideal for use in harsh industrial environments
Cons
  • The pressure regulator may not provide accurate results

I like this unit a lot maybe I just got a dud I could tell the leak I had was internal the seal inside does not seat correctly it leaked air didn't have time to send it back and wait for a return had to paint that weekend the last warm weekend to make it happen so I just tossed the item in the trash.If the seal was good it would be perfect wouldn't get much better than this. But the pin was bent and seal wasn't proper on one filter.PS these are filters not dryers so don't get that mixed up

Pros
  • Easy to put together and works great
Cons
  • Can be difficult to install in some systems

Nice Design, quality parts, Perfect Addition To Shop

I actually installed two of these items in my shop. They really work well to eliminate water in the compressor air lines! I would definitely recommend to buyers looking for a quality Air Drying System.Product UPDATEI’m EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY PURCHASE OF TWO OF THESE DEVISES. My initial review was very positive, a huge MISTAKE. After less than 2 months of use, both units LEAK AIR AT THE FILTER BOWLS, the GAUGES BOTH LEAK AIR, the Very FRAGILE BOWL AIR RELEASE VALVES LEAK, and Neither…

Pros
  • Versatile and adaptable to a wide range of applications
Cons
  • Not suitable for constant heavy use
