Key Features
Coalescing Air Separation
An internal medium coalesces microbubbles out of the flow stream and routes them to an automatic vent, removing air that a point vent alone will not capture.
Low-Velocity Dirt Collection
An enlarged chamber drops fluid velocity so heavier particulate settles into a collection zone that can be flushed without shutting the system down.
Construction
Body material: Brass.
Rated Operating Envelope
Maximum operating pressure 150 psi, medium temperature range 32 - 250 °F.
