OVERVIEW

Maintain System Integrity with Genuine Miller Parts

The Miller 276175 Filter Bowl and Guard is a critical replacement component designed for Miller's industrial breathing air filtration systems. In the realm of respiratory protection, the integrity of the filtration unit is paramount. This assembly serves as the pressure-bearing housing for the filtration media, ensuring that the supplied air is properly channeled through the filter elements without bypassing or leaking. Constructed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments, this part is essential for facilities maintaining OSHA compliance regarding Grade-D breathing air.

Over time, filter bowls can succumb to environmental stress, chemical exposure, or accidental impact. A compromised bowl or guard not only risks the physical safety of the equipment but can also lead to air leaks that drop system pressure, potentially triggering low-flow alarms or allowing contaminants to bypass the filtration stages. This replacement kit includes both the bowl and the protective guard, restoring the unit to factory specifications. It is engineered to fit seamlessly with Miller's 3-stage filtration panels, which are often equipped with CO monitors and filter change indicators.

For MRO professionals, keeping a spare 276175 on hand is a proactive measure to minimize downtime. The transparent nature of the bowl allows for quick visual inspection of the filter element and moisture accumulation, facilitating efficient maintenance schedules. By using genuine Miller parts, you ensure that the threading, pressure rating, and chemical resistance of the component match the original engineering requirements of the breathing air panel.

Key Technical Benefits:

  • Pressure Rating: Designed to withstand the operating pressures of standard shop air supplies regulated for breathing.
  • Compatibility: Precision-molded to fit specific Miller filtration manifolds, ensuring a leak-free seal.
  • Durability: The metal guard provides a robust cage around the bowl, protecting it from knocks and drops common in busy welding shops.

FAQ

This Filter Bowl and Guard is designed for specific Miller breathing air filtration panels, such as those used in Grade-D air systems for supplied air respirators.

No, the Miller 276175 includes the filter bowl and the protective guard only. The filter media must be purchased separately.

The guard protects the polycarbonate bowl from physical impact and damage in industrial environments, preventing cracks that could lead to dangerous pressure failures.

The bowl should be replaced immediately if it shows any signs of cracking, crazing, or chemical damage. Otherwise, inspect it regularly during filter changes.

No, this is a genuine Miller part designed specifically for the threading and pressure specifications of Miller equipment. Using it on other brands may result in leaks or failure.

Yes, the bowl is typically transparent or semi-transparent to allow for visual inspection of the filter element and any accumulated moisture.

A cracked bowl compromises the pressure seal, leading to air leaks that can reduce airflow to the user and potentially cause the system to fail safety checks.

Installation is generally straightforward and can be done by hand or with basic tools during a standard maintenance cycle.
