Compressed Air Filter 1/2 NPT
The Festo LF-1/2-D-MIDI-A-NPT is a midi-series compressed air filter designed for pneumatic systems that require clean, dry air at the point of use. It suits maintenance engineers, automation technicians and workshop operators who need reliable contaminant removal in industrial environments. The unit installs vertically in-line with 1/2 NPT ports and delivers a standard nominal flow rate of 3000 l/min. It meets ISO 8573-1:2010 class [7:8:4] for output air quality.
Upgrade From Manual Drain Filters
This model replaces filters that rely on manual condensate draining by integrating a fully automatic drain and a 43 ml condensate capacity. The jump is worth it when downtime for bowl emptying disrupts production or when moisture carry-over risks damaging downstream valves and actuators. A 40 µm filtration grade captures coarse particulates while the metal bowl guard adds durability in harsh conditions. It operates reliably between 2 bar and 12 bar pressure.
Build Integration Requirements
The die-cast zinc housing with a polycarbonate bowl fits directly into existing 1/2 NPT pipework without adapters. Vertical mounting orientation must be observed for the automatic drain to function correctly. RoHS-compliant materials simplify regulatory compliance for new machine builds. The filter frees up maintenance intervals by eliminating manual drain checks and supports ambient and medium temperatures from 5 °C to 60 °C.

Questions about this item
What size NPT threads does the filter use for inlet and outlet?
Both pneumatic connections are 1/2 NPT, so the filter mounts directly into a 1/2 NPT female port on each side.
How do you set the automatic condensate drain so it actually purges?
Install the bowl vertically with the drain pointing down; the float mechanism only opens when liquid reaches the 43 ml level.
When should the 40 µm filter element be replaced?
Replace the PE element when the pressure drop across the filter rises noticeably or at the next scheduled service interval.
