Key Features
Magnetic Ferrous Capture
Rare-earth neodymium magnets capture iron-oxide and ferrous debris down to microscopic size.
5 Micron Dirt Removal
Separates non-ferrous suspended particles down to 5 micron from the system fluid.
Removable Magnet
The magnet is removable so trapped ferrous debris releases and purges through the drain during blowdown.
Online Cleaning
Captured debris is flushed without draining or shutting down the system.
1-1/2 In Union Female Connection
1-1/2 in union female connection sized for the application.
Composite/Brass Construction
Composite/Brass body with stainless and EPDM internal components for hydronic service.
