Monnier manufactures over 1000 specially engineered solutions in addition to the 3000 standard products in their catalog.
Product Lineup
Filters
Monnier filters are built to ensure solid and liquid particulate is removed from compressed air lines. Filters are available in thousands of standard and custom configurations to better meet customer requirements. Every product can be anodized in eight different colors to match your existing system colors.
| Series | Capacity | Max Pressure |
|---|---|---|
| 3000 Miniature | 1 oz. | 150PSI (250PSI optional) |
| 2000 Compact | 5 oz. | 150PSI (250PSI optional) |
| 1000 Standard | 8 oz. | 150PSI (250PSI optional) |
| 5000 | 21 oz. | 150PSI (250PSI optional) |
| 4000 | 32 oz. | 150PSI (250PSI optional) |
Options: All available with bowl guards, metal or poly- carbonate bowls, element ratings of 20, 10 or 3 micron, float or impulse drains and sight levels (for metal bowls)
Oil Coalescing Filters -Available in same size as our regular filters, but also:
- Remove 99.95% of all oil droplets and aerosols
- Trap 99.95% of all solids down to 0.3 micron size
- Remove odors and vapors
Regulators
Monnier catalogs a wide variety of fluid-air regulators to provide a constant air line pressure. Standard line regulators are suitable for optimal pressure ranges from 0-10 psi to 20-250 psi and come in 1/8″to 1-1/2″ line sizes. When space is at a premium, try Monnier’s subminiature regulators specifically designed for low-volume air flow and dead end service.
To complement standard regulators, Monnier can fit regulators with:
- Built-in check valves
- Valve sandwich block and manifold mounted air-line regulators
- Pilot-operated pressure regulators.
Lubricators
To maximize the performance of pneumatic machinery and guarantee long life, Monnier lubricators are utilized to maintain the proper ratio of oil to air.
| Size | Capacity | Pipe Size |
|---|---|---|
| Miniature | 1 oz. | 1/8, 1/4 IN |
| Compact | 5 oz. | 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 |
| Standard | 8 oz. | 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 |
| Large | 21-32 oz. | 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2 |
Options: All lubricators are available with metal or polycarbonate bowls, bowl guards, knurled adjustment knobs. “Q” fill button available on all models except miniature.
Tamper-Resistant device is supplied with each lubricator.
Duo and Trio Combinations (Filter/Regulator/Lubricators)
To save valuable time and money, Monnier air preparation products can be assembled in 16 different standard combinations.
Duo & Trio-Combinations
- Piggybacks containing integral filter/regulator combinations and are ideal to cut down on the piping and fittings required to hook up a system.
- Duo-Combinations (Duo-Combinations are in line filters…) contain filters and regulators and can be set up in a variety of combinations.
- Monnier Filters, Regulators and Lubricators are configured together in the Trio-Combination
Filter/Regulators
Monnier filter/regulators are available in a variety of sizes and are designed to reduce the footprint of the air preparation assembly.
Particulate and coalescing flow paths and elements are available. Care must be taken when selecting the appropriate filter type.
All filter/regulators have the same options as the corresponding individual filters and regulators.
Specifications

Float Drains
The Monnier Float Drain is an ideal, low-maintenance drain for airline legs and air filters. The Float Drain has the following characteristics:
- Typically open
- Pilot operated valve rated for 10-250 psi and 175° F
- String on/off action – closed by system air pressure
- inlet sizes from ¼” – ½”
Impulse Drains
Monnier Impulse Drains are the simple solution for removing excess line liquid. If necessary, replacement of the Impulse Drain takes less than 1 minute.
- Only one moving part – no float, levers or pilot mechanisms
- Gum & corrosion resistant
- Actuated by a 10 percent decay in pressure caused by cycling of valves, tools or compressors
