This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator, Model 4906AD, is a reliable addition to any hydronic system. With a 6-inch flanged connection and a maximum pressure of 125 psi, this separator effectively removes air and dirt from the system to prevent damage to pumps, valves, and other components. The base ring provides stability during installation and maintenance. The separator works by utilizing a patented PALL ring technology that creates a low-velocity zone that allows air and dirt to separate from the water flow. This ensures that the clean water continues to circulate through the system while the separated air and dirt are easily discharged through the bottom blowdown valve. The Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator is an essential component for maintaining optimal performance in any hydronic system.
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.
