Re: oil filter cost !
Hi SIGNSTU,
SMC ompressors have wide range of filters, the one your are talking about is a paper MKII filter, which no longer exists, they stopped making them over 3 years ago!
The price your are looking at is for a conversion kit and probably has a reasonable mark up from a contractor on it to allow for the admin element of purchasing the filter, and probably the subsequent phone calls explaining what you have got and why.
Kind Regards AndyIf you can't fix it leave it that no one else will:rolleyes:

Andy This is the mark 3 smc 106 ammonia that has a screw on oil filter just like a car. I just ordered 2 more $347.00 each. It is not the kit just a screw on filter. It is worth no more than $25.00

Stu.
I cannot understand what is happening here.
I have attached 2 pdf pages.
1 showing the Mk3 oil filter assy.
Which has an internal oil filter of cylindrical construction.
The 2nd showing a Mk 4 filter which is external and looks like a car filter?
Whom are you purchasing the filters from?
Grizzly

Re: oil filter cost !
From a compressor manufacturers point of view, there is more that goes into evaluating oil filters than simply cost. As Tycho said earlier, it had to be said.
Oil filters are evaluated on particle filtration ability, surface area of the filter, and more. To say someone has a cheaper filter and it fits on the housing is asking for a compressor rebuild or replacement.If all else fails, ask for help.

So far every supplier I have found buys them from M&M. They also supply Canada in part
