THE PLUG IS FOR MFG ASSEMBLY. YOU DO NOT DO ANYTHING WITH IT. YOU PIPE IN AND PIPE OUT THROUGH TAPPINGS AND FLUSH DIRT AND RUST THROUGH BOTTOM PORT.
There is a top plugged port, but it is not meant to be disassembled. I don't know what size the threads are, that port is presumably how the device was put together. In order to function effectively, the flow needs to be side to side.
not that i know of.
Do not see why you need a hose. Blowing off a quart of water in a pail will flush the trap. You only need to do this once a year, at the beginning of heating season.
It must be mounted with the cap and chain at the bottom in order to drain.
The main body with the drain tap should be facing straight down when piped up. This will allow the separator to collect the debris and enable you to flush it out if needed. Sent from my iPhone
Indeed - it is upside down in the picture. The unit hangs down from the piping with the decal right side up.
If you look at the photos on the spirotherm web site, they are correct. http://www.spirotherm.com/products/dirt-separation The brochure http://www.spirotherm.com/sites/default/files/JR-2.pdf shows them correctly. The air separator goes up, and on the dirt separator, it goes down, with the drain on the downside.
The Spirotrap is brass. Quoting PexSupply Team :
Casing is brass. I did not take mine apart so I cannot say for certain if there is a steel screen or strainer inside but if there is I would imagine it would be stainless to resist corrosion caused by boiler water.
IT'S BRASS OR ZINC ITS NOT STEEL, I HAVE ONE

F.W.I.W. - Mine is brass but I believe it may have a stainless steel mesh inside. The one pictured looks the same. I’m sure the housing is NOT steel.
Brass
The 1" spirotrap I purchased is definitely brass.
Brass body with a steel insert to scrub water Sent from my iPhone
This item is primarily brass (the main body, threads, etc) the actual mechanism that traps the dirt is a stainless steel mesh cylinder inside. There is no mild steel on this item.
