Description
The Balcrank 3260-065 Mini Air Filter/Regulator is a professional-grade compressed air filtration and pressure regulation component designed for pneumatic pumps, lubrication systems, and industrial fluid-handling equipment. Featuring a 1/4-inch NPT female connection, durable zinc bowl, manual drain, and adjustable air pressure regulator, this compact piggyback filter/regulator helps deliver cleaner, properly regulated compressed air to compatible air-operated pumps.
Designed for demanding automotive and industrial service environments, the Balcrank 3260-065 combines air filtration and pressure regulation in a single, space-saving assembly. Its integrated filter helps remove moisture and airborne particles from the compressed air supply, reducing contamination that can contribute to premature wear in pneumatic equipment.
The adjustable pressure regulator allows technicians to set the outlet air pressure according to the connected pump's operating requirements, helping maintain reliable performance while preventing excessive air pressure from reaching sensitive components.
The zinc bowl with manual drain provides a durable solution for collecting and removing moisture from the air supply. Unlike automatic-drain configurations, the Balcrank 3260-065 allows technicians to manually drain accumulated condensate during routine maintenance.
With a maximum operating pressure of approximately 150 PSI and an airflow rating of 15 SCFM, this mini filter/regulator is designed for compatible pneumatic piston pumps, diaphragm pumps, lubrication equipment, and fluid transfer systems.
Its compact piggyback construction makes it especially useful in automotive repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, heavy-equipment service centers, and industrial maintenance operations where equipment space and dependable compressed air preparation are important.
For additional installation flexibility, the Balcrank 3261-007 mounting bracket is available separately.
Whether you're replacing an existing filter/regulator, maintaining a Balcrank lubrication pump, or installing new pneumatic equipment, the Balcrank 3260-065 Mini Air Filter/Regulator provides a practical solution for compressed air filtration, moisture management, and adjustable pressure control.

Common Applications for the Balcrank 3260-065
The Balcrank 3260-065 mini air filter/regulator is designed for professional compressed air systems requiring controlled air pressure and filtration.
Automotive Repair Shops: Supplies filtered and regulated compressed air to compatible lubrication pumps, oil dispensing equipment, and pneumatic fluid-handling systems.
Fleet Maintenance Facilities: Helps maintain dependable compressed air supply for pneumatic equipment used in commercial truck, delivery vehicle, and fleet service operations.
Heavy-Equipment Service Centers: Supports air preparation for compatible piston and diaphragm pumps used in construction, agricultural, and heavy-equipment maintenance.
Industrial Maintenance Facilities: Provides compact air filtration and pressure adjustment for suitable pneumatic pumps and fluid transfer equipment.
Balcrank Lubrication Systems: Serves as a replacement or installation component for compatible Balcrank air-operated pump packages.
Why Is an Air Filter/Regulator Important for Pneumatic Pumps?
Compressed air quality and pressure regulation are important factors in maintaining reliable pneumatic equipment operation.
Moisture, dirt, and unregulated air pressure can contribute to component wear, inconsistent pump performance, and unnecessary maintenance.
The Balcrank 3260-065 Mini Filter/Regulator helps address these concerns through two essential functions.
Compressed Air Filtration: The integrated filter helps capture moisture and particulate contamination before they reach the connected pneumatic equipment. The zinc bowl collects separated moisture, which can be removed using the manual drain.
Adjustable Pressure Regulation: The regulator allows technicians to adjust the compressed air supply pressure according to the requirements of the connected equipment.
By combining these functions into one compact assembly, the Balcrank 3260-065 helps simplify air preparation installations and supports proper pneumatic pump operation.
