Desiccant Dryer for Compressed Air Systems
The SPEEDAIRE 4UDK5 is a four-stage desiccant dryer rated at 15 CFM with a -40 °F dew point. It delivers ISO Class 2 air quality for applications such as paint spray, lab air and air gauging equipment. The unit accepts 1/2 inch NPT inlet and outlet connections. Metal bowls hold 6 oz and 32 oz capacities.
Four-Stage Filtration and Metal Construction
Staged filtration at 0.01 micron, 5 micron, 40 micron and 70 micron removes particulates and moisture before air reaches downstream tools. All bowls are metal for durability under a maximum operating pressure of 125 psi. The overall footprint measures 11 1/4 in length by 14 1/4 in width. Filters are included with the dryer.
Practical Limits of Desiccant Technology
Desiccant media must be regenerated or replaced once saturated, so continuous high-demand use requires planned downtime. The 15 CFM maximum flow rate restricts the dryer to smaller compressors or point-of-use installations. Pressure drop across four filter stages can affect tools sensitive to inlet pressure. Buyers needing higher continuous flow or lower maintenance intervals should consider alternative drying methods.

Questions about this item
What does the 1/2 in NPT inlet and outlet limit the dryer to in practice?
The 1/2 in NPT connections support the rated 15 cfm flow at up to 125 psi; larger piping would be needed for higher volumes.
What clearance is needed to mount the unit given its overall length and width?
The dryer measures 11 1/4 in long by 14 1/4 in wide, so allow at least that footprint plus access room for the filter bowls.
How is the dryer installed, and which step is commonly missed?
Connect the 1/2 in NPT inlet and outlet, then fill the 6 oz and 32 oz metal bowls with desiccant before pressurising — skipping the fill is the frequent error.
