YongHeng 4500 Air Pump looking for the Brass Air Filter

[FIDI_G]

Hey guys anyone have a spare or know where I can find one of these see the photo its the brass aerator. No idea what its called. Mine broke off. I looked on ebay, aliexpress and amazon. Im not sure what the part number is called or what size fitting it is?

Any help would be appreciated.

Also anyone know if there is an exploded parts list for the Hen Yong 4500 air pump.

It's called a sintered Bronze filter. You can buy the on eBay Amazon etc...you just need to confirm male thread size used.

FIDI,
Search "Yong Heng Air Filter" on eBay, you'll see a white filter in a black plastic frame, 5 for $15. I've seen Yong Hengs with both styles, I'd just get the white/black version if the bronze can't be found. Can't swear to it but I'm sure the white/black style would screw right in. WM

I did some more digging around. I found the manual here https://www.econologie.com/forums/download/file.php?id=19765&sid=e9e91e338a15e55f81ee7f6f20195c21 and according to the manual they just call it, "intake air filter"

Yeah I had found the one your talking about. I was looking for the brass one. But if I cant find it I guess I'll take a chance. I need to figure out what size thread it is? There are some other fishtank aerators that look similar not sure how important this is to get right.

Replacement part dealers for the Yong Heng might not stock the brass filters, since they can be cleaned and don't usually fail. Think I'd bite the bullet and get the 5-pack, you'll have an official Yong Heng air filter and a few spares. WM

Anyone replace the connecting rod and piston? In taking it apart and doing some maintenance and it seems that there is a fair bit of slop when I move the piston back and fourth. Is this normal?
