SMC AW20-N02BC-2Z-D Filter Regulator, 1/4" NPT, Metal Bowl, Auto Drain
SMC
$50.10
The SMC AW20-N02BC-2Z-D is a size 20 modular filter regulator combination unit with 1/4" NPT ports. It integrates air filtration and pressure regulation in a single body to save space and piping, and this configuration ships with a mounting bracket, a metal bowl, and an N.C. (normally closed) float-type auto drain. It is set for the standard 0.05 to 0.85 MPa range (approximately 7 to 123 psi) with a relieving-type regulator.
This is the current AW-D generation body. The metal bowl adds durability for tougher environments, the N.C. auto drain discharges condensate automatically while keeping the drain port closed when the unit is not pressurized, and a manual drain cock is also included. The regulator locks by pushing down on the adjustment knob, and the product label reads in psi and °F.

Replacing an AW20-N02BC-2Z
The AW20-N02BC-2Z-D is the current AW-D generation of this filter regulator, and it is the exact, direct replacement for the legacy AW20-N02BC-2Z. SMC maintains panel-mount interchangeability across the generations: the panel mounting pitch carries over, and brackets and set nuts are common to the existing and new products.

The connection, configuration, and mounting all carry over, so it drops into an existing AW20-N02BC-2Z installation without rework:
- Same 1/4" NPT connection and left-to-right flow direction
- Same bracket, N.C. auto drain, and metal bowl configuration
- Interchangeable panel-mount pitch; brackets and set nuts common across generations
- Same 0.05 to 0.85 MPa relieving regulation and psi / °F labeling
If you are transitioning a fleet of older units, standardize your spares inventory on the current AW-D maintenance parts going forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the AW20-N02BC-2Z-D do?
It is a filter regulator combination unit. It filters the compressed air and regulates it to a stable, adjustable downstream pressure in a single body, which saves space and piping compared with separate filter and regulator units.
What kind of bowl and drain does it have?
It uses a durable metal bowl with an N.C. (normally closed) float-type auto drain, which discharges condensate automatically and keeps the drain port closed when the unit is not pressurized. A manual drain cock is also included.
Does it include a bracket or a gauge?
It includes a mounting bracket. This configuration ships without a pressure gauge.
Is the AW20-N02BC-2Z-D a direct replacement for the AW20-N02BC-2Z?
Yes. It is the current AW-D generation and the exact, direct replacement for the legacy AW20-N02BC-2Z, with the same porting, bracket, N.C. auto drain, metal bowl, pressure range, and psi / °F labeling.
