This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Dirt Separator, Model 4912D, is designed to effectively remove dirt, debris and other contaminants from hydronic heating and cooling systems. With a flanged connection size of 12" and a maximum pressure rating of 125 psi, it can handle high flow rates and large volumes of water. The separator works by utilizing centrifugal force to remove particles that are heavier than the water, which then settle at the bottom of the unit for easy removal. This process helps to improve system efficiency, reduce maintenance costs and extend equipment life by preventing damage caused by dirt buildup. Made from durable materials, this Taco dirt separator is built to last in commercial applications.
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.
