This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Dirt Separator, Model 4918D, is designed for use in hydronic systems with a maximum pressure of 150 psi. The flanged connection measures 18 inches in diameter, making it suitable for large-scale commercial applications. The separator works by removing dirt and debris from the system's water flow, preventing clogs and damage to pumps and other equipment. This improves system efficiency and reduces maintenance costs over time. With its durable construction and reliable performance, the Taco 4900 Series Commercial Dirt Separator is an excellent choice for any hydronic system that requires high-capacity filtration.
4900 Series Overview
Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air & Dirt Separators efficiently remove air, dirt, and other contaminants from system components, enhancing efficiency and longevity. They use patented PALL ring technology to eliminate micro-bubbles and debris, while an optional magnet collects iron oxide and magnetite.
These separators also feature a vent mechanism for releasing merged micro-bubbles and a blowdown valve to dispose of dirt. The magnet, easily activated by a handle, simplifies maintenance and magnetite removal. They are suitable for systems with variable speed and constant flow.
Taco 4900 Series separators are constructed and tested to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 standards. Their design is guided by computerized selection, tailored for each application. All manufacturing occurs in-house, ensuring quality. Independent third-party tests validate performance.
