Hankison E9-20-06 Filter Element Kit

The Hankison E9-20-06 Filter Element Kit is a critical component for maintaining high-efficiency compressed air filtration systems. Engineered as a Grade 9 separator/filter, this element excels at bulk liquid removal and the capture of solid particles. This high-performance kit is a direct replacement for HKN-07.4443-01 and HKN-07.4444-01, ensuring a seamless fit for technicians servicing legacy pneumatic systems. Utilizing a sophisticated two-stage design, it features two stainless steel orifice tubes for initial 10-micron mechanical separation, followed by an in-depth fiber media coalescing filter stage that targets particles down to 3 microns. Rated for a maximum oil carryover of 5 ppm, this 3-micron filter protects downstream equipment such as refrigerated air dryers and precision tools from corrosive moisture and aerosolized oils. The push-on design and chemically resistant end caps facilitate fast maintenance, while the corrosion-resistant stainless steel cores maintain structural integrity under standard high-flow operating conditions up to 150°F.

Key Benefits:

• Effective 3-micron particulate removal for superior pneumatic system protection.
• Two-stage Grade 9 filtration maximizes bulk liquid separation and coalescing efficiency.
• Seamless compatibility with housing models requiring HKN-07.4443-01 or HKN-07.4444-01.
• Durable stainless steel core design resists chemical corrosion and differential pressure collapse.
• Ensures low pressure drop for optimized air compressor energy consumption and component longevity.

Common Questions:

Where should the Grade 9 filter be installed in the air line?
Standard practice is to install the Hankison E9-20-06 upstream of refrigerated dryers or as a pre-filter before higher-efficiency coalescing stages to remove solid particulates and bulk water.

What are the signs that this filter element needs replacement?
Technicians should monitor the differential pressure gauge; once the pressure drop exceeds 6-10 psid or visible oil/moisture carryover is detected downstream, the element has reached capacity.

Is this kit compatible with standard mineral and synthetic oils?
Yes, the matrix-blended fiber media and coated closed-cell foam sleeve are designed to resist chemical attack from common synthetic and petroleum-based lubricants.
