Dust is the silent enemy of any compressor: it gets in through the intake, scores the cylinder and wears the piston rings and valves. The air intake filter traps it before it reaches the pump, and a dirty or broken filter shortens the compressor's life and reduces its performance.
Choose yours by thread and format: metal 1/4" (with silencer tube) or 1/2", plastic 1/2" with 3/8" reducer, plastic with long 1/2" male neck (as on PRO25VX compressors) or with a replaceable 1/2" paper cartridge (as on the PRO100VC).
✅ Key benefits
Protects the pump: stops dust getting into the cylinder.
Five versions: metal, plastic, long neck or paper cartridge.
1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" threads: for most workshop compressors.
Maintains performance: a clean filter lets the compressor breathe.
Inexpensive spare: the cheapest way to extend the life of the unit.
🏗️ What it's for
Replacing a dirty or broken intake filter.
Routine maintenance of piston compressors.
Compressors on building sites, in joinery shops and dusty environments.
Spare for PRO25VX and PRO100VC compressors, among others.

💡 Vetonek tip: check the filter every month if you work in a dusty environment (building sites, joinery shops) and replace it as soon as it looks dirty. Never run the compressor without a filter, not even for a short while.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know which one is mine?
Look at the intake thread (1/4", 3/8" or 1/2") and the shape of your current filter.
How often should it be replaced?
It depends on the environment; check it frequently and replace it when it is dirty or damaged.
What happens if I run without a filter?
Dust gets into the cylinder and wears the piston rings, valves and cylinder: the compressor loses performance and breaks down sooner.
Which filter does the PRO100VC use?
The one with a replaceable paper cartridge and 1/2" thread.
And the PRO25VX?
The plastic one with a long neck and 1/2" male thread.
