This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator, Model 4916AD, is a high-quality product designed to remove air and dirt from hydronic systems. With a flanged connection of 16 inches and a maximum pressure rating of 250 psi, this separator is suitable for use in large commercial applications. The unit works by using a patented PALL ring technology that enhances the separation of microbubbles. As the water flows through the separator, it passes through the PALL rings where the microbubbles are separated from the water and collected at the bottom of the separator. The dirt particles are also separated from the water and collected in a removable strainer basket. This Taco 4900 series commercial air and dirt separator is an essential component for any hydronic system to maintain its efficiency by preventing damage caused by air and dirt buildup.
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.
