HX SERIES USER GUIDE
1. Series HX Compressed Air Filters
Parker’s HX-Series lters represent the most advanced coalescing lter technologies of today. Due to the breadth of
this series product line, they are very versatile and the types of applications they will work in is nearly limitless.
The lters are offered with ve basic types of lter media:
Fine Coalescers: Remove liquid and tiny solid contaminants from compressed air. Types 4C, 6C, XF
Bulk or Pre-coalescers: Remove large quantities of liquid contaminants / tiny solids. Types 7CP, 8C, 10C
Water Separator: Remove bulk liquids from compressed air. Type WS
Particulate: Remove larger solid contaminants from compressed air. Type 3P
Adsorber: Remove oil vapor from compressed air. Type A
The lters are supplied with either manual drains or auto drains as well as differential pressure gauges or plugged
gauge ports. Differential pressure gauges are standard on lters beginning with bowl size “C” and larger. They are
optional on “B and BH” sizes. See 2.1 below for part number breakdown.
All HX-Series lters are designed to minimize operating differential pressure which will result in low operating costs. A
number of innovations in both housing design and lter element design combine to result in low energy consumption
and operating costs. They are detailed in the HX-Series general brochure. See Section 9 for accessories.
1.1 Scope of Delivery
These lters are supplied in a ready to operate condition and can be installed directly into the compressed
air system. Some of the accessories mentioned later in this manual are supplied in separate packages and
should be installed according to their own instruction sheets.

3. Intended Use
The information on the product label must be observed. Non-observance of the data given there is regarded as
improper use. The lters are suitable for ltering compressed air and other non-ammable inert gases, such as
nitrogen.
3.1 Impermissible Applications
The ltration of liquids is not permitted. HX-Series lters must NEVER be used for ltration of explosive,
ammable, or noxious gases (including natural gas). Modications to HX-Series pressure vessels and
elements will endanger operational safety and may cause damage or personal injury and are not permitted.
4. Filter Installation and Maintenance Personnel
These operating instructions are intended for specialists charged with the installation, operation, and maintenance
of compressed air lters. Such persons must be trained in and have basic working knowledge of handling pressure
devises.
5. Safety Instructions
5.1 Hazard due to a sudden release of pressure!
Never remove any parts of the lter, or manipulate the lter in any way, as long as the lter is pressurized. A
sudden release of pressure may cause serious injuries. BE SURE TO DEPRESSURIZE THE FILTER before
carrying out any work on the lter. Verify that the housing has been depressurized using a gauge known to be
in good working order.
