Description
Genuine Van Air E200-55-A/RA replacement element for the F200 series filter housing, rated 55 SCFM at 100 PSIG, 1/2" NPT. Van Air part number 26-2059.
This is the 5 micron coarse element, and it is a coarse grade for general protection and for prefiltering a 1 micron element. One part number covers both designations: fit it as A for coalescing service, where air flows from the inside of the element outward and the coalesced liquid drains off the outer surface, or as RA for particulate service, where air flows from the outside in. Same element, same price. The end cap is green.
Replace the element before differential pressure reaches 10 psig, or every 12 months, whichever comes first. A blocked element costs more in wasted compressor power than a new one costs to buy.
