SPEEDAIRE 36J473 Replacement Desiccant
This SPEEDAIRE 36J473 kit supplies six containers of silica-gel desiccant, each holding 6 qt of 4x8 mesh beads sized 1/8 in to 3/16 in. It is intended for maintenance of desiccant dryers that remove moisture from compressed-air lines in automotive and industrial workshops.
Upgrading spent desiccant in dryers
When the existing beads become saturated and dew-point readings rise, swapping in this 6 qt refill restores drying capacity. The change is worth it whenever pressure dew point drifts above the dryer’s rated limit or when preventive maintenance intervals call for fresh media.
Simple pour-in replacement
Installation consists of opening the dryer vessel, discarding the used beads and pouring in the new silica gel from the six containers. The main risk is contaminating the fresh desiccant with oil or dirt during the swap, which reduces adsorption performance until the media is replaced again.
