The range includes Tanair TAN-DFE / TAN-DE replacement elements alongside compatible alternative elements for many widely used compressed-air filter housings.

Because this is a very large catalogue, the product grid is paginated for faster loading. The Tanair TAN-DFE / TAN-DE range is shown first, followed by the remaining compatible alternatives in reference order.

Always identify the replacement from the existing housing make, model and element reference. Similar-looking elements can use different seals, media grades and dimensions.

Tanair Replacement Range

TAN-DFE & TAN-DE Filter Elements

The Tanair range includes general-purpose, oil-removing and activated-carbon replacement elements for compatible Tanair filter housings.

GP · General Purpose

General compressed-air filtration for routine contamination control and protection of downstream equipment.

OR · Oil Removing

Finer filtration intended to reduce oil aerosol carryover within a correctly designed compressed-air treatment system.

AC · Activated Carbon

Final-stage activated-carbon treatment for applications requiring additional reduction of oil vapour after suitable upstream filtration.

Match the Housing

Use the housing model and current element reference rather than choosing an element from CFM or appearance alone.

Alternative Elements

Compatible Replacement Elements for Established Filter Brands

The wider catalogue contains Tanair alternative replacement elements corresponding to references used across brands including Atlas Copco, CompAir, BOGE, Domnick Hunter, Hankison, Hiross and other compressed-air filtration ranges.

These are replacement alternatives for compatible housings unless a product page specifically states otherwise. Brand names and references are used to help identify compatibility and do not imply that the element is manufactured or endorsed by the original equipment manufacturer.

Before Ordering

How to Identify the Correct Filter Element

Housing Manufacturer

Start with the make shown on the complete filter housing.

Housing Model

Record the model or size reference from the filter body or identification label.

Existing Element Code

The old element reference is often the fastest route to the correct replacement.

Filtration Grade

Confirm the required grade. Elements with similar dimensions may provide very different filtration performance.

Why Replace Elements?

Blocked Elements Increase Pressure Drop

As filtration media becomes contaminated, resistance to airflow increases. Excessive pressure drop can reduce downstream pressure and cause the compressor to work harder to maintain the required system pressure.

Maintain the intended filtration performance
Reduce avoidable restriction through the filter housing
Protect dryers, valves, tools and downstream machinery
Help maintain reliable compressed-air quality
Reduce the risk of unnecessary energy use caused by excessive pressure drop

Service Interval

How Often Should Filter Elements Be Changed?

The existing range guidance uses replacement at least annually as a general minimum starting point. More demanding applications, long running hours, high contamination loading or critical air-quality requirements may need shorter intervals.

Do not rely on calendar age alone. Operating hours, pressure drop, condensate, ambient conditions and the manufacturer's service guidance should also be considered.

Installation

Filter Element Replacement Checks

Fully isolate and depressurise the compressed-air system before opening a filter housing
Confirm the replacement element reference and filtration grade before fitting
Inspect seals, O-rings and the inside of the housing
Clean the housing as required without contaminating the new element
Refit the bowl or housing correctly and check for leaks after repressurising
Record the replacement date and next planned service interval

Support

Cannot Find the Element Reference?

Compressed Air Systems UK can help identify replacement compressed-air filter elements from the existing housing or element details.

Call 0121 753 3330 or send the housing manufacturer, model number, current element code and clear photographs. If dimensions are supplied, include them as supporting information rather than relying on dimensions alone.

FAQs

High Efficiency Filter Element FAQs

How do I identify the correct replacement element?

Use the filter housing manufacturer, housing model, current element reference and required filtration grade. Send photographs if the identification label is unclear.

Why are the Tanair TAN-DFE elements shown first?

They are the current Tanair replacement-element range and are grouped first to make matching Tanair filter housings quicker. The wider alternative catalogue follows afterwards.

What do GP, OR and AC mean?

GP denotes general-purpose filtration, OR denotes oil-removing filtration and AC denotes activated-carbon treatment.

Can I match a filter element by dimensions?

Dimensions can help, but should not be used alone. Similar-looking elements can have different seals, media construction and filtration grades.

How often should compressed-air filter elements be replaced?

Annual replacement is a useful general minimum guideline for many installations, but service conditions and the applicable manufacturer guidance may require shorter intervals.

Why does a blocked element cost energy?

A contaminated element can increase pressure drop. The compressor may then need to operate at a higher pressure to maintain the pressure required downstream.

Are the brand-reference elements OEM products?

Where a product is described as an alternative replacement element, it is a compatible alternative rather than an OEM-manufactured element unless the individual listing explicitly states otherwise.

Can Compressed Air Systems UK help identify an unknown element?

Yes. Call 0121 753 3330 or send the housing and element references together with clear photographs.

Need Help Finding a Replacement Filter Element?

Send us the housing make, model and current element reference and our team can help identify the correct replacement.
