1-1/4" NPT Dirt Separator

The Caleffi XF "Xtra Filtration" magnetic dirt separator safeguards components within hydronic systems by ensuring a hydronic fluid free from impurities, maximizing heat transfer efficiency. This compact device integrates three distinct separation methods: collision media for large non-magnetic debris, a central magnet for capturing ferrous material, and a 160 _m mesh filter for trapping remaining fine particle impurities. Efficient separation commences at the initial pass, effectively removing a substantial amount of debris during systemstartup. Designed for applications such as heat pumps and boilers, where critical components like heat exchangers are sensitive to debris and magnetic impurities, the XF provides top-notch performance. The XF's top cap rotates to control an internal brush that cleans the fine mesh filter by dislodging debris and directing it toward the purge valve. Removing the central magnet facilitates the release of ferrous material. Simple hassle-free inline maintenance is made possible by purging the XF through its hose barb blowdown port. Featuring Caleffi's Posi-Stop union o-ring technology, the XF's inlet and outlet ports eliminate the need for fiber gaskets. Additionally, the connection points incorporate a rotating collar that connects tothe main body, allowing for installation flexibility in both horizontal and vertical piping orientations. In 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" models, the XF includes a partial bypass feature to continue removing impurities without significant head loss after startup debris removal.
