173856

Service unit FRC-3/8-D-5M-MIDI-NPT

The Festo 173856 is a Midi size industrial component featuring a vertical mounting position, manual non-detenting condensate drain, and a 5 µm grade of filtration. Constructed with a die-cast zinc housing and 3/8 NPT pneumatic connections on both ports, this unit supports a normal nominal flow rate of 1700 l/min across an operating pressure range of 1 bar to 16 bar and a pressure regulation range of 0.5 bar to 12 bar. It operates within a medium and ambient temperature range of -10 °C to 60 °C using compressed air as per ISO 8573-1:2010 [-:9:-] or inert gases, allowing for optional oil lubrication and accommodating in-line installation or mounting with a retaining bracket.

Why no listed price?

Industrial and obsolete parts are priced per enquiry: the final price depends on available stock, condition, quantity, and your delivery destination, so a fixed list price would be misleading. Request a quote and we confirm current pricing, lead time, and sourcing options — including hard-to-find and discontinued Festo references — within one business day.
