This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator, Model 4908AD, is designed for use in hydronic systems with a maximum working pressure of 175 psi. The separator is equipped with an 8" flanged connection for easy installation and maintenance. The unit works by removing air and dirt from the system, improving its efficiency and preventing damage to components. As water flows through the separator, it is forced to change direction multiple times, allowing air and dirt to be separated and collected in the removable bottom chamber. The clean water is then returned to the system through the top chamber. With its durable construction and efficient operation, this Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator is an excellent choice for any hydronic system requiring effective air and dirt separation.
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.
