Quiet operation: High-quality silencer with a metal structure reduces the noise generated by the air compressor during operation, producing a noticeably quieter working environment. Inlet protection: Designed to install at the air inlet of the air compressor, the silencer filter effectively blocks dust present in humid conditions, helping prevent contamination of internal components. Simple, secure installation: Coarse-thread design makes mounting straightforward. The 3/8 inch air compressor silencer uses a 16 mm thread — simply screw the metal suction filter into the inlet for immediate use. Durable construction: Made from high-quality metal and plastic materials for long-lasting performance under regular use. Key attributes: Function: Noise reduction and inlet filtration Compatibility: 3/8 inch inlet with 16 mm coarse thread Material: Metal and plastic Performance: Reduces operational noise and blocks dust in humid environments Installation: Screw-in metal suction filter, no special tools required Typical applications: Home garage compressors: Reduce noise and keep the compressor intake cleaner during DIY projects. Small workshop or hobby use: Protect pneumatic tools and compressors from dust when working in dusty or humid spaces. Automotive maintenance: Improve workshop comfort by lowering compressor noise and restricting dust intake during vehicle servicing. Why choose this silencer filter: Delivers both noise reduction and inlet filtration in one compact unit. Fits standard 3/8 inch (16 mm) coarse-thread inlets for quick installation. Built from durable metal and plastic to withstand routine use and environmental exposure. Installation tip: Ensure the compressor is powered off and depressurized, then screw the metal suction filter firmly into the inlet until hand-tight. Check periodically for secure fit and cleanliness.
