DESCRIPTION

GENERAL

The AF-3™in-line filter assembly is designed to prevent foreign material from entering the control port of the Trailer ABS modulator or spring brake relay. The filter body is made of steel with an internal screen element of stainless steel held in place by a spring. The filter is capable of removing particles 0.012 inches in size or larger. The filter has a ¼ NPT female supply port and a ¼ NPT male delivery port. Note: If the filter is installed in the reversed direction, its filtering capability will be reduced.
