This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator, Model 4912AD, is a highly efficient solution for air and dirt elimination in hydronic systems. With a flanged connection of 12 inches and a maximum operating pressure of 125 psi, this separator comes with a base ring that ensures stability during installation. The unit works by utilizing the principle of centrifugal separation to eliminate air and dirt particles from the system's water flow. As water enters the separator, it is forced to spin around an internal baffle that separates air and dirt from the water stream. The separated particles are then collected at the bottom of the separator, where they can be easily removed through a blowdown valve. This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator is an ideal choice for commercial applications that require high-performance air and dirt elimination capabilities.
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.
