Desiccant dryer in-line compressed air silica indicator
1 each New Silica Desiccant Air Dryer
This dryer has silica desiccant that changes color as it takes on water. The air enters the top of one cylinder, then crosses over to the other through the bottom manifold and then exits through the top of the second cylinder.
The female treads are coarse. I found a 1/8" 37 degree tube fitting (as shown in the photo) screws in easily. I think it was probably designed to use an O ring, but you could also tape and dope it.
I don't find any pressure rating but I have used one for years (as an indicator for a double tower dryer) at 125 PSI without any problems.
This is some older military surplus. I think it was used on aircraft to supply dry air to the pilot's "pressurized sets." It is packaged in the bubble wrap then a box and then a sealed heavy duty, plastic lined packaging paper. So even though they are older, it will work perfectly.
6-7/8" tall, 4-3/8" wide, 2-1/2" deep
