(Click image for a larger view) | Andair make Gascolators for both 3/8" and 1/2" lines. Both types have a screw locking ring that prevents the bowl from coming off, and a facility for this to be wirelocked. The bowl is internally sealed with an Viton (R) O-ring. A PTFE coated 70 micron Stainless Steel mesh is used as the filter screen.
The PTFE coating helps prevent water from passing, by maintaining it as a droplet formation. A large filter area is present and wide passages have been incoropated so that the pressure loss through the Gascolators is kept to an absolute minimum. There is an 1/8 NPT hole on the bottom of the bowl so it can be drained and also one on the top of the body. This one can be used as a pressure tapping or a filtered supply to the primer pump.
A selection of fittings can also be used with the GAS375 and the GAS500. All the Gascolator include a self bleeding air bleed. Here, on first use, and immediately after the bowl/filter has been removed the air trapped inside will automatically be purged out. |
