White cylindrical coalescing filter element with sponge media, model 4ZK56

SPEEDAIRE

SPEEDAIRE 4ZK56 Coalescing Filter Element 0.01 micron

SKU CH-274R-VD69M

Coalescing filter element removes particles down to 0.01 micron from compressed air using microglass media

  • Coalescing action traps oil aerosols down to 0.01 micron
  • Microglass media depth-loads particles without rapid pressure drop
  • Sponge element structure handles heavy-duty compressed-air flow
  • Direct replacement for Grainger parts 4ZL31 through 4ZL36
  • Lightweight 0.032 kg design eases routine filter changes

Coalescing Filter Element 0.01 micron

The SPEEDAIRE 4ZK56 is a coalescing filter element rated at 0.01 micron for compressed air systems. It uses a microglass sponge element to remove fine oil aerosols and solid particles from the air stream. This component suits maintenance technicians and facilities managers who need clean, dry compressed air for pneumatic tools or processes.

Compatible Grainger filter housings

The element fits Grainger part numbers 4ZL31 through 4ZL36, providing a direct replacement for those specific filter housings. It installs inside the existing housing body, requiring no changes to piping or mounting hardware. Using the correct element restores the filtration efficiency of the assembly without needing a full housing replacement.

Heavy Duty series construction

The Heavy Duty series designation indicates the element is built for continuous industrial compressed air service. The microglass sponge media maintains the 0.01 micron rating across the service interval defined by the housing manufacturer. A California Proposition 65 warning applies because the product contains chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

How long before the 0.01 micron coalescing element reaches its saturation limit under continuous compressed-air flow?

Service life depends on inlet air quality and flow rate; the microglass media traps oil and particulates until pressure drop signals replacement.

Does the filter housing add noticeable pressure drop or heat when the compressor runs all day?

The element itself weighs 0.032 kg and is designed for minimal resistance; any temperature rise comes from the compressed air, not the filter.

Which SPEEDAIRE housings accept the 4ZK56 element so it will seal and function correctly?

It fits Grainger part numbers 4ZL31 through 4ZL36, which cover the Heavy Duty series filter assemblies.
