1/4" NPT MINI Filter Regulator – 100 PSI, 40 Micron | XOFR-MINI-N14-7
The Pneuforce XOFR-MINI-N14-7 piggyback filter regulator combines compressed air filtration and pressure regulation in one compact MINI component. It features 1/4" NPT ports, 40 micron filtration and a 100 PSI regulated-pressure range configuration.
By combining two air-preparation functions in one body, this unit saves installation space, reduces pipe connections and provides clean, controlled compressed air for industrial machinery. This model uses a semi-automatic/manual drain.
Modular Joining Kits and Field-Change Thread Blocks
A matching MINI XOFR filter-regulator and XOL lubricator can be joined with the FRLKIT-MINI modular FRL joining kit. Each joining kit is size-specific: MINI, MIDI and MAXI kit bodies are not interchangeable. To change the connection thread size while retaining the MINI modular component, select a compatible MINI OHB replaceable port/thread block. Available MINI thread blocks: OHB-MINI-18 (1/8" NPT), OHB-MINI-14 (1/4" NPT), OHB-MINI-38 (3/8" NPT). This helps distributors and plant maintenance teams carry fewer complete FRL variants and configure the required NPT port size at the point of installation. Confirm the port block, seals, orientation and component compatibility before fitting.
Choosing the Correct Pneuforce FRL Component
XOFR-MINI-N14-7 combines particulate filtration, liquid-water separation and adjustable downstream pressure in one MINI unit. It uses 1/4" NPT connections and the 100 PSI nominal adjustment-class configuration with semi-automatic drain. A separate lubricator is only needed if the downstream equipment requires oil-mist lubrication.

Installation & Service Guidance
Install upstream of downstream valves and actuators, observe airflow direction and mount vertically. Set the outlet pressure while air is flowing, then lock the adjustment control where provided.
Important: Isolate and fully depressurize the compressed air system before installation or maintenance. Confirm model, body size, port size and component compatibility before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a piggyback filter-regulator do?+
It combines a particulate air filter, liquid-water separation and an adjustable outlet pressure regulator in one modular assembly.
What is the connection size and body?+
XOFR-MINI-N14-7 has 1/4" NPT ports and a MINI modular body. Choose joining hardware to suit that body size.
Is the filter 5 micron or 40 micron?+
The standard element is 40 micron. A compatible 5 micron element is an option if the added pressure drop is acceptable for the application.
What does the pressure class mean?+
This is the 100 PSI nominal adjustment-class model. The published FRL family working-pressure specification is 0–175 psi(g) (0–12 bar(g)); the nominal class name is not permission to exceed the working-pressure rating.
What is the published airflow rating?+
The published 40 micron rated flow for this MINI 1/4" NPT 100 PSI variant is 53 CFM (1,500 NL/min). Check system pressure drop at your operating flow.
What kind of bowl drain is installed?+
This model has a semi-automatic drain. Inspect condensate level and service the drain according to its operating design.
Can it be used with a lubricator?+
Yes. Where downstream machinery specifically requires oil-mist lubrication, a compatible Pneuforce XOL lubricator can be joined downstream.
How do I service the filter-regulator safely?+
Isolate and depressurize the supply before removing the bowl or changing its element or drain. Check the operating pressure and mounted gauge before returning to service.
Which joining kit connects a MINI XOFR and XOL?+
Use Pneuforce FRLKIT-MINI to join compatible MINI XOFR filter-regulators and XOL lubricators. Choose the kit for the same body size; MINI, MIDI and MAXI joining kits cannot be mixed.
Can I change the MINI FRL NPT connection size without replacing the complete assembly?+
Yes, where the assembly accepts the replaceable Pneuforce OHB thread blocks. The MINI port options are OHB-MINI-18 (1/8" NPT), OHB-MINI-14 (1/4" NPT), OHB-MINI-38 (3/8" NPT). A suitable block can simplify on-site configuration and inventory management; confirm the matching component and seals first.
