Replacement filter cartridge for the Nardi PAC1 Purification Tower.
The Filter PAC1 cartridge is a drop-in replacement that scrubs water vapour, oil aerosol, hydrocarbons, and odour from the air stream before it reaches your storage cylinder. Replacing it on schedule keeps your breathing air compliant with DIN EN 12021 (breathing air quality) and EN ISO 8573-1 (compressed air contaminants).
Select the cartridge for your compressor
Electric
Standard MC-AC media (Molecular Sieve + Activated Carbon). For any electric compressor driving a PAC1 tower (Pacific E, P, C, or M). Also fits industrial PAC1 installations. With no combustion source upstream of the intake, there is no carbon monoxide risk and a standard cartridge is sufficient.
Gasoline / Diesel
MC-AC-HO media (Molecular Sieve + Activated Carbon + Hopcalite). Hopcalite is a catalyst that converts carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. Required for any compressor driven by an internal combustion engine, which covers the Pacific EG (gasoline), Pacific PG (gasoline), and Pacific DY (Yanmar diesel) when fitted with a PAC1 tower.
Service interval
Replace the cartridge per the schedule in your compressor Operator's Manual, or sooner if the saturation indicator changes colour. Intervals shorten with high ambient humidity, polluted intake conditions, or high run hours.
Standards
- DIN EN 12021:2014 breathing air quality
- EN ISO 8573-1 compressed air purity
- CSA-certified for sale and use in Canada
Compatibility
This cartridge fits the PAC1 tower. PAC1 is the standard purification tower on Pacific E, EG, P, PG, C (16/23/27/30), DY (23/27/30), and M (23/27/30). It is also an order-time upgrade option on smaller Pacific configurations. Verify the model designation stamped on your tower before ordering — if your compressor was ordered or upgraded with a PAC2 or PAC3 tower, see the PAC2 Replacement Cartridge or PAC3 Replacement Cartridge. For Atlantic compressors, see the Filter Pac ATL Cartridge.
Need the full tower assembly?
This product is the replacement cartridge only. If you need the PAC1 filter tower itself (configurable inlet, with or without pressure-maintaining valve, freestanding or wall-mount), see the Nardi Filter PAC1 Purification Tower Assembly.
