Chicago Pneumatic FE001 Intake Filter Element 2
This pleated paper filter element fits Chicago Pneumatic RCP-C Series and T39 compressors. It is rated at two microns with ninety-nine percent filtration efficiency and supports a maximum flow of thirty-five scfm. Suitable for compressor output powers of five hp and ten hp.
Installation and common issues
The element installs by seating the three-inch inside diameter onto the compressor intake and securing the four and three-eighths inch outside diameter housing. Overall height is two and thirty-one hundredths inches. Problems usually arise when the housing seal is not fully seated, allowing unfiltered air to bypass the media.
Sustained-load behaviour
Under continuous operation at the rated thirty-five scfm the paper media maintains its two-micron capture rating without rapid pressure-drop increase. The ninety-nine percent efficiency holds steady during extended duty cycles on five hp and ten hp units.
Not for buyers needing
Buyers who need a filter rated finer than two microns or a flow capacity above thirty-five scfm cannot use this element. It also does not suit compressors outside the RCP-C Series and T39 compatibility list.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the filter is flowing at its rated 35 scfm after installation?
Check the compressor output gauge; steady delivery at 35 scfm with no pressure drop indicates the element is working.
What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?
The box contains one FE001 pleated paper element; housing, clamps and gaskets are not included.
Which version should I choose for a 10 hp compressor?
The FE001 is rated for both 5 hp and 10 hp compressors, so the single listed version covers either power level.
