Genuine AirTAC air filter, order code AF2000 from the AF-BF range. The options this code selects are decoded below; series data follow the official AirTAC catalog.
The AF2000 sits at the 1/4-inch end of AirTAC's compact A-line filters: a PT1/4 inlet and outlet, a 15 cc drain bowl and the standard 40 um element that catches general pipeline debris before it reaches valves and actuators. It runs on 0.15 to 1.0 MPa (20 to 145 psi) of compressed air, tolerates 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure and works from -5 to +70 C as long as the air does not freeze.
Draining on this code is the baseline arrangement: condensate collects in the bowl and the differential indicator plus manual drain lets an operator empty it by hand. The B-line BF2000 on the same PT1/4 port can be ordered with the A automatic-drain option; confirm element and thread suffixes from the datasheet.

Choose AF2000 when the circuit is built on PT1/4 ports but panel space is tight, since the A-line body is smaller than B-line BF2000, which shares the port and carries a larger 40 cc bowl. AF1500 steps down to PT1/8, while BF3000 and BF4000 move up to PT3/8 and PT1/2 for higher-flow branches. The thread stays PT unless the code ends in G for G thread or T for NPT.
Mount the AF2000 at the drop feeding a valve-and-cylinder station so the 40 um element strips pipeline dirt before it reaches the PT1/4 circuit.
On machines plumbed in PT1/4, the 15 cc bowl with manual drain gives operators a simple daily condensate emptying point at 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
Place the filter ahead of solenoid valve islands to keep debris out of seats and spools, with the differential indicator signalling when to drain.
PT1/4 ports, 40 um standard element, 15 cc drain bowl, differential and manual drain, operating pressure 0.15 to 1.0 MPa (20 to 145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), fluid air, temperature -5 to +70 C with no freezing.
Both use PT1/4 ports and the 40 um element, but BF2000 is the larger B-line body with a 40 cc bowl and accepts the A automatic-drain option, while the A-line AF2000 has a 15 cc bowl and drains only by hand.
