Ingersoll-Rand 1 micron Microglass filter
The Ingersoll-Rand 24242208 is a coalescing air filter element rated at 1 micron. It uses Microglass media to remove oil and water aerosols from compressed air systems. Maintenance technicians and plant engineers use it to protect downstream pneumatic equipment from contamination. It replaces the manufacturer part number FA400IG in compatible filter housings.
Coalescing filtration with low pressure drop
Microglass media captures fine liquid aerosols while maintaining airflow with minimal resistance. The 1 micron rating targets sub-visible oil mist and water droplets that standard particulate filters miss. Clean elements keep pressure drop low, reducing compressor energy consumption during normal operation. Regular replacement prevents saturation that would increase differential pressure and carry-over.
Direct FA400IG replacement for coalescing housings
This element fits filter assemblies designed for the FA400IG part number and coalescing duty. The upgrade is worth it when existing elements show rising pressure differential or when oil carry-over appears at point-of-use. It is not for buyers needing activated-carbon odour removal or particulate-only filtration. Systems requiring a different micron rating or thread size need a different element.

Questions about this item
How is the Ingersoll-Rand 24242208 Microglass element installed in the filter housing?
Shut off and depressurise the system, remove the housing bowl, pull out the old element, insert the new 1 micron Microglass element with the flow direction arrow pointing downstream, reinstall the bowl and torque to the housing specification.
What replacement schedule applies to the 1 micron Microglass element?
Replace the element when the differential pressure gauge on the housing reaches the red zone or at the interval specified in the compressor maintenance manual, whichever comes first.
What is the first limitation of the 1 micron Microglass element under continuous operation?
The element loads with coalesced oil and water aerosols, causing differential pressure to rise until the housing change-out indicator signals replacement.
