Balston Purification 100-12-BX Filter Element Replacement

Balston 100-12-BX filter element replacement is a coalescing air filter element designed for Balston 100-12 filtration housings in compressed‑air lines. It is rated up to 100 PSIG and engineered to remove water and oil vapor from the air stream, delivering filtration down to 0.01 microns with a claimed efficiency around 99.99%. The element’s compatible replacement dimensions are about 1.38 in outside diameter, 1.01 in inside diameter, and 2.5 in in height, with a maximum operating temperature nearing 225 °F, making it suitable for typical industrial air-drying and purification duties. Balston literature commonly suggests a 6‑month replacement interval, depending on service conditions, to maintain air quality in the system. This is offered as an OEM‑equivalent replacement for Balston 100‑12‑BX housings and is used to supply clean compressed air for applications such as electronics manufacturing and laboratory instrumentation where moisture and oil carryover must be minimized.
