This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4905A, is a high-quality product designed to be used in hydronic systems. The air separator has a flanged connection of 5" and can withstand pressures of up to 125 psi. It comes with a base ring for easy installation. The air separator works by removing unwanted air from the system, which can cause inefficiencies and damage to equipment. As water flows through the air separator, it is directed through a coalescing medium that separates the air from the water. The separated air is then vented out of the system through an automatic valve. This process helps to improve system performance and prevent corrosion and damage caused by trapped air. Overall, this Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator is an excellent choice for those looking to improve the efficiency and longevity of their hydronic systems.
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.
