In the Jeg's catalog the part number is 555-52205 the description is Seperator Kit and the price is 39.99. Not a bad deal!

Neat. Looks pretty much like a Campbell Hausfeld / Home Depot catch can but could have some advantages.

Looked it up at Jegs and answered my own question ..... it is a plastic not glass bowl. But it does look good and comes with proper fittings and a mounting bracket. Plus the filter element looks much bigger.

I believe that it is a polycarbonite material which is a plastic material. I bleieve that it would be better than glass.
