Yamada 706082 Air Inlet Filter
The Yamada 706082 is the genuine replacement air inlet filter specified for Yamada air operated double diaphragm pumps using this filter element.
A blocked exhaust is back pressure, and back pressure fights the air motor on every stroke. The pump slows down, loses flow, and uses more air doing it. Because the change happens gradually as the element clogs, it is usually blamed on the diaphragms or the air supply long before anyone looks at the exhaust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the exhaust be piped away?
Yes, and it is common practice where fumes or noise matter. Keep the pipe generously sized and as short as practical, because a long or narrow run creates the same back pressure as a blocked element.
Q: Can a blocked muffler really reduce flow?
Yes, and noticeably. Exhaust back pressure works against the air motor on every stroke, so the pump runs slower and uses more air for less output.
Q: How often should it be replaced?
Whenever it is visibly dirty or the pump has lost speed for no other reason. On a clean dry air supply it lasts a long time; on a dirty one it can need attention every few months.
Q: There is product in the exhaust. What does that mean?
A diaphragm has split and the pump has been venting product into the air side. Replace the diaphragms and check the air motor internals, not just the muffler.
