The Multiquip 050180000001 is a genuine OEM Air/Oil Separator MQS-250 Pleated designed for the MQS-250. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this part meets the exact specifications required for proper compressor operation on the MQS-250. The pleated filter media construction delivers high-efficiency separation, keeping oil carryover in check and protecting downstream components. DHS Equipment stocks this genuine OEM part so you can get your machine back up and running with the correct component the first time.
Key Features
- Pleated Filter Media Efficiency — High-surface-area pleated construction maximizes air/oil separation contact area, delivering cleaner air output than standard flat-media designs.
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's exact material and dimensional specifications, ensuring the separator seats and seals correctly within the MQS-250 housing.
- Direct-Fit for MQS-250 — Engineered specifically for the MQS-250, this unit installs as a direct replacement with no modification to the existing housing or fittings.
- Protects Compressor Output Quality — A functioning air/oil separator prevents oil from migrating into the discharge air stream, protecting tools, hoses, and downstream equipment connected to the compressor.
- Extends Compressor Service Life — Replacing a saturated or collapsed separator on schedule prevents oil starvation in the sump and reduces wear on internal compressor components.
An air/oil separator is a critical service component in a rotary screw or similar compressor system. Its job is to strip entrained oil droplets out of the compressed air before the air leaves the machine, returning recovered oil back to the sump for reuse. When the separator becomes clogged or collapses, differential pressure across the element rises sharply, causing the compressor to work harder, oil carryover into the discharge air to increase, and in severe cases, the machine to shut down on high-pressure differential fault. Replacing the separator at the correct service interval keeps output air clean and the compressor running within its designed operating parameters.
