Hankison E5-16 Filter Element

The Hankison E5-16 Filter Element is a Grade 5 high efficiency oil removal filter engineered for critical point-of-use applications in industrial compressed air systems. Also identified as the Hankison E516, this element excels at coalescing fine water and oil aerosols, effectively removing solid particles down to 0.01 micron. Designed to maintain an air quality standard of 0.008 ppm w/w maximum remaining oil content, it provides the essential protection needed upstream of desiccant dryers or downstream of refrigerated units. Its two-stage filtration architecture utilizes a coated, closed-cell foam sleeve for initial air diffusion and a second stage of matrix-blended fiber media for ultra-fine coalescence. With a 35 SCFM flow rating and a 150?F maximum temperature limit, this replacement filter element ensures low pressure drop and long-term compressed air filtration performance. Whether you are managing moisture in pneumatic lines or protecting sensitive downstream components, the E5-16 delivers the professional-grade reliability required by HVACR contractors.

• Superior Airstream Purity: Achieves 99.99% oil aerosol removal and 0.01-micron particulate filtration for high-demand pneumatic applications.
• Dual-Stage Efficiency: Combines a pre-filtration foam sleeve with a bonded fiber media core to maximize surface area and minimize initial pressure drop.
• Structural Integrity: Features corrosion-resistant stainless steel inner and outer cores to prevent element collapse during high-flow operation.
• Simplified Maintenance: The push-on design with integrated piston-type seals prevents bypass and allows for rapid field replacement.
• Broad Compatibility: Seamlessly fits into Hankison HF Series 16 housing assemblies, maintaining consistent system flow ratings.

Common Questions

Is the E5-16 the same as the E516?
Yes, the Hankison E5-16 and E516 are identical part numbers used interchangeably across various technical manuals and catalogs for the Grade 5 16-series element.

When should the E5-16 element be replaced?
Standard industry practice dictates replacement when the pressure differential reaches 10 psi (0.7 kgf/cm2) or annually to ensure optimal energy efficiency and air quality.

Where is this filter typically installed in a system?
This high-efficiency coalescer is best utilized as a second-stage filter after a Grade 7 or 9 pre-filter to prevent premature loading while protecting desiccant beads or sensitive instrumentation.
