FAQ
Q1: What is the VFL vacuum in-line filter used for?
A: It filters dust/particles in vacuum lines to help protect vacuum-side components and improve system stability.
Q2: When should I add a vacuum line filter?
A: Add it when dust/particles may enter the line, when vacuum-side components need protection, or when you want to reduce clogging and maintenance risk.
Q3: What is the benefit of a clear housing?
A: You can visually check contamination and decide service timing without opening the unit.
Q4: Do I need tools to replace the element?
A: No. The element is designed for tool-free replacement without removing the piping.
Q5: Can I use the VFL on positive pressure (compressed air) lines?
A: No. It is designated for vacuum lines only—do not connect it to compressed air lines.
Q6: Does installation direction matter?
A: Yes. Install according to the body markings for PAD side / CONVUM side (or the arrow direction).
Q7: Can I clean parts with organic solvents?
A: Not recommended. The manual warns against organic solvents (e.g., thinner), which may cause deterioration or cracks.
Q8: How do I choose between VFL-44/66/88/1010?
A: Select by tube O.D.: 4/6/8/10 mm correspond to 44/66/88/1010, then match your nozzle size requirements.
