This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator, Model 4912ADM, is a high-quality product designed to effectively remove air and dirt from hydronic systems. With a switchable on/off magnet and a 12" flanged connection, it can handle up to 150 psi of pressure. The separator works by using a coalescing medium to capture microbubbles of air and small particles of dirt that are present in the system. As the fluid flows through the separator, the captured contaminants are separated from the fluid and collected in a removable chamber at the bottom of the unit. This process helps prevent damage to pumps, valves, and other components in the system while improving overall efficiency. The Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator is an essential component for any hydronic system looking to improve its performance and longevity.
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.
