High-Performance Filter Regulator Combos

Optimize your compressed air system with a filter regulator combo—a 2-piece unit that combines a compressed air filter and pressure regulator into one air preparation assembly. These units efficiently remove moisture and debris while maintaining consistent downstream pressure for pneumatic tools, automation equipment, and air-powered machinery. Choose from compact integrated styles or modular configurations based on your space, service, and expansion needs.

Built for Industrial & Commercial Air Prep

Our selection includes trusted options across multiple sizes, drain styles, and filtration ratings—featuring PneumaticPlus SAW Series piggyback units and SAU Series modular filter-regulator combos. Whether you’re building a full Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRL) assembly or upgrading an existing air prep station, these units provide foundational protection for your pneumatic air supply.

  • Design Options: Choose SAW piggyback units for a compact footprint, or SAU modular units for easier maintenance and future system expansion.
  • Filtration Choices: Common filter elements range from 5 to 40 microns (varies by brand and model).
  • Port Connections: Options available from 1/4" NPT to 1" NPT to match your specific piping and flow requirements.
  • Drain & Bowl Configurations: Manual and automatic drain options are available on many models, with polycarbonate or metal bowls depending on the application.
Note: If your system exceeds 150 PSI or your compressed air may contain chemicals that can damage polycarbonate, we recommend choosing a metal bowl for increased durability and safety.

How to Choose the Right Filter Regulator Combo

To ensure optimal performance, consider these factors when selecting your unit:

  1. Match port size and flow (CFM) to your line and tool demand.
  2. Pick a micron rating based on your equipment's contaminant sensitivity.
  3. Confirm the regulator pressure range and maximum inlet pressure.
  4. Choose manual vs. automatic drain based on your moisture load.
  5. Select polycarbonate vs. metal bowl based on pressure and chemical exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the benefit of a 2-piece filter regulator combo?

Combining filtration and regulation in one assembly reduces space requirements, simplifies installation, and reduces potential leak points compared to using separate components.

Are automatic drains available?

Yes—automatic drain options are available on many of our models, which helps simplify maintenance and prevents moisture carryover in higher-moisture environments.

Which brands do you carry?

We offer the full PneumaticPlus line (including the SAW and SAU Series) as well as other trusted industry brands such as Arrow Pneumatics, giving you the flexibility to match existing system specifications.
