Atlas Copco 1202-8496-00 Oil Filter Element Rotary Screw Air Compressor Part

1202-8496-00 is an Atlas Copco oil filter element for rotary screw air compressors, a replaceable cartridge that sits in the lubrication circuit to remove contaminants from the oil as it circulates through the compressor. By trapping particulates and impurities, it helps maintain oil quality and support dependable operation of the screw mechanism and bearings. This part carries the 1202-8496-00 designation and is intended for use in Atlas Copco rotary screw systems that require this specific filter element. Use is typically part of standard lubrication maintenance; replace the element according to the equipment manufacturer’s service schedule to maintain oil cleanliness and system performance. The designation "oil filter element" identifies its role as a filtration stage within the compressor's oil circuit, rather than a full filter housing, and it is designed to be installed in compatible Atlas Copco rotary screw compressors that list 1202-8496-00 among their replaceable parts.
