Pilot FT08 Compressed Air Filtration System
The Pilot FT08 Compressed Air Filtration System is part of the FT series. With easy to read differential pressure gauge or indicator to monitor the filter element performance, it offers easy and safe operation.
- 14.1L/sec flow rate
- 0.77kg
- G 3/8” connections
The protected filter head and bowl threads of the Pilot FT08 Compressed Air Filtration System allow for easy bowl removal for element replacement. The large cross section of flow channels ensures reduced pressure drop, while the pressure relief device allows for safe removal of the filter bowl. Additional features include a hexagonal filter bowl clamp ring and anodised aluminium filter bodies (inside and out) to prevent corrosion. External surfaces are powder coated, plus modular facility for simple series connection of multiple filters or wall mounting.
Filter element features include:
- Large surface area and in-depth bed filtration for high efficiency and low pressure drop.
- Double (inner and outer) polyester needle felt sock suitable for high temperatures (120 ̊C) and resistant to synthetic oils.
- Push on element with double O-ring for speedy element replacement and air tight connection.
- Four grades of filtration to cover all requirements for clean compressed air in respect of ISO 8573.1.
- Silicone-free manufacturing.
- Colour coded. No mistakes when replacing elements.

Pilot Air Reviews
We have a growing manufacturing business and our air supply needed to be upgraded to deliver to a clean volume of air to specific machines and mainly our spray booth. 3 Months ago the team at Pilot Air evaluated our requirement and delivered an excellent solution, we have had time to run the system for a considerable time and found it to be excellent. Also Australian Manufactured to boot. Very Happy.

My husband recently bought a second hand Trademaster 12 air compressor in need of some maintenance. He took it to the Silverwater servicing centre with no prior arrangement. The staff were polite, obliging, and eager to help, and he was impressed with the service provided. Well done Pilot Air!

Thanks Pilot Air! We have just purchased our third pilot compressor (K50). Our oldest one (K25) is 14 years old and still going strong, used all day every day only replaced pressure switch.
