Product Identity
The Festo MS6N-LFM-3/8-BUV-DA is a Size 6 fine filter designed for compressed air systems requiring 1 µm filtration. It suits pneumatic installations in food-industry environments where residual oil content must stay at 0.5 mg/m3 and filter efficiency reaches 99.99 %.
Installation Checks
Verify that your supply line provides 3/8 NPT ports and operates between 2 bar and 12 bar. Confirm the mounting orientation can stay vertical within +/- 5° and that ambient temperatures remain within 5 °C to 60 °C. Ensure the housing material — die-cast aluminum with NBR seals — is compatible with your media.
Thermals Noise Power
The unit handles medium temperatures up to 60 °C and stores safely down to -10 °C. A visual differential-pressure display signals element loading without electrical consumption. Maximum condensate volume is 38 ml with fully automatic drainage, and the metal bowl guard adds durability under moderate corrosion stress.

Questions about this item
What accessories come in the box and which fittings must be sourced separately?
The filter ships as a single unit weighing 820 g with integrated metal bowl guard and visual differential pressure display. Piping, 3/8 NPT connectors and mounting brackets are not included.
Which condensate drain option should be chosen for continuous unattended operation?
The fully automatic drain (code BUV) ejects up to 38 ml of condensate without manual intervention, making it the correct choice for continuous unattended operation.
What does the 950 l/min maximum flow rating mean when the filter is installed in a live compressed-air line?
At an operating pressure between 2 bar and 12 bar the filter can pass up to 950 l/min while maintaining 99.99 % efficiency and a residual oil content of .5 mg/m3.
