Hankison E9-16-04 Replacement Element

The Hankison E9-16-04 Replacement Element is a high-efficiency compressed air filter element designed for Grade 9 separator/filter housings. This Hankison replacement filter serves as the direct mechanical equivalent for part numbers 07.4442-01, HKN-07.4442-01, and HKN-E9-16-04. Engineered to handle bulk liquid removal, this element utilizes a mechanical separator design to eliminate 99% of liquid water and large particles. It is rated for 3-micron filtration, effectively protecting downstream refrigerated air dryers and high-performance coalescing filters from liquid slugging and contamination. Built for heavy-duty industrial pneumatic systems, the E9-16-04 maintains low differential pressure while ensuring consistent ISO 8573-1 air quality standards. Whether you are performing routine maintenance on a Hankison filter housing or replacing a fouled 07.4442-01 element, this component ensures the structural integrity of your air stream and reduces moisture-related downtime in critical HVACR and manufacturing applications.

Key Technical Benefits

• 3-Micron Filtration: Provides efficient bulk liquid separation and particle removal to protect sensitive downstream components.
• Direct Cross-Reference: Precision-fit replacement for HKN-07.4442-01 and 07.4442-01 ensuring no bypass air.
• Low Pressure Drop: Optimized media design reduces energy consumption by maintaining high flow rates with minimal resistance.
• Rugged Construction: Corrosion-resistant end caps and high-strength center cores withstand pressure fluctuations in heavy-duty cycles.
• System Protection: Essential for preventing liquid carryover into desiccant towers or precision pneumatic tools.

Common Installation and Compatibility Questions

When should the E9-16-04 element be changed?
Technicians should replace this element when the pressure differential exceeds 2-3 PSI or during scheduled annual maintenance to prevent contamination of downstream coalescing stages.

Is this element compatible with synthetic compressor oils?
Yes, the E9-16-04 is designed to handle the various lubricants used in rotary screw and reciprocating compressors, including synthetic and mineral-based oils.

Does this replace the HKN-07.4442-01 exactly?
This is the direct technical replacement. It matches the dimensions and filtration efficiency of the HKN-07.4442-01 and 07.4442-01 series exactly for a drop-in fit.
