Des-Case® Standard Series DC-3 Disposable Desiccant Breather Filter, 1.4 lbs Blue Silica Gel, 1 In Male Connection, 16 CFM Flow Rate, 9 Fl Oz Adsorption Capacity, 3 Micron
Des-Case® Standard Series DC-3 Disposable Desiccant Breather Filter, 1.4 lbs Blue Silica Gel, 1 In Male Connection, 16 CFM Flow Rate, 9 Fl Oz Adsorption Capacity, 3 Micron DC-3Des-Case Standard breathers provide simple, yet dependable protection from moisture and particulate contamination in lubricants and equipment across multiple industries and applications. These versatile breathers are five times more effective than the leading non-desiccant breathers, providing optimal defense against humidity for your applications.
The desiccant breather replaces the standard dust cap or OEM breather cap on equipment, offering better filtration to protect against even the smallest particulates that destroy the effectiveness of your machinery, and cause downtime and costly repairs. As air is drawn into equipment through the breather, the layered desiccant filter elements remove particulate while the desiccant beads strip harmful moisture. While in service or during shut-down, the desiccant beads attract moisture from inside the equipment reservoir, actively drying the equipment.

1. Domed Cap
A domed cap allows for better washdown runoff.
2. Integrated Nylon Standpipe
The integrated standpipe provides excellent vibration resistance and dissipates impact throughout the unit, eliminating weak points. It also allows even airflow distribution throughout the unit, eliminating inaccurate readings of desiccant saturation.
3. External Ribs
External ribs on shell to create greater durability and grip when installing or replacing breather.
4. Integrated Drip Ring
An integrated drip ring keeps shedding water from entering the vent holes.
5. Threaded Mounting
Easily replaces standard filler/breather cap with multi-fit connection or one of several adapters.
6. Air Vents
Individual air intakes with plugs to protect unit during shipping and storage.
7. Foam Pad
Foam filter captures any oil mist and disperses incoming air evenly over filtration and drying areas.
8. Filter Element
Polyester filter element removes airborne contamination to 3-micron absolute. Unique loops allow particles to release during system exhalation, helping to increase breather life.
9. Enhanced Seal
An enhanced seal eliminates potential for airflow bypass.
