This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator, Model 4914AD, is designed to remove air and dirt from hydronic systems. With a flanged connection of 14 inches and a pressure rating of 150 psi, it can handle heavy-duty applications in commercial settings. The base ring provides added stability during installation. The separator works by creating a low-velocity zone where the air and dirt can collect and be removed through a blow-down valve. This helps to improve the efficiency of the system by reducing the amount of air and dirt circulating in the water. Overall, this Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator is an essential component for maintaining the performance and longevity of hydronic systems in commercial buildings.
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.
