Advanced Tool Design Model ATD-7820 1/4" Miniature In-Line Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This is the only in-line desiccant I've purchased, so I cannot compare it to others. At first I was concerned that the threads on each end were plastic, but with Teflon tape, I do not have any leaks. However, if you need to move your hose around, the hose would need strain relief so the force is not directed to the plastic connection. The desiccant changes colors as it absorbs moisture. For me, this happened in about 1/2-day's use.

I'm using this with a variety of air tools to keep moisture out. So far it has seemed to do an excellent job of keeping them dry. I also use one (I bought several) with a plasma cutter because the air into the torch has got to be very, very dry. This works as well as the Miller unit that costs 10 times as much.

Not very experienced with the filters, but this was my first try.

Pros:

Do the job well

Visual indicator is hard to beat

Cons

Dont last very long. They run out within 1 hour of continuous use with my PC compressor and spray paint using HVLP gun

You have to take out the orange "stopcorks" before using them. I didnt know till i got no pressure...then had a hard time getting one out...no instructions to remove them of course didnt help

Water sometime drips on the work surface...should probably have a better mechanism but dont know what other alternatives are out there...i guess i will experiment and learn
