Gascolator SA3-00 With Inst Manual

Works great and installation was easy! Im thinking they updated the gascoloator and it now doesnt need the 90 that everyone else recommended because the drain hole is now on the bottom and not the side of the bowl. Either way this is 1000 times better than the stock one.

Vast improvement over the original. On a PA 22-150 the straight-down sump valve is easier to use than the original angled version. As noted by others, pipe thread is a very tight fit for AN823-6D.

Great product however order AN913-1D’s to plug extra holes otherwise you may be waiting for additional parts while installing. Aztec needs one plug each side, no sure about other aircraft.

We installed this on our Cherokee 180. I wish we had done it a long time ago. No more fusing with the OEM part! The Steves unit is finely machined and a joy to look at. Expect to have to fuss with the Piper mounting bracket to get it flat and to do some minor cowling work to accommodate the drain valve. Be sure to order the 90 degree fitting for the drain.

This is an excellent design and solution for my leaky gascolator on my Piper Cherokee. I would suggest Aircraft Spruce add the 90 Deg fitting (AN914-1D) to the recommended parts as it is listed in the Steves Aircraft Cherokee Hints. It could have saved me from having to make an additional purchase where my shipping was more than the part cost so I could get my plane back up flying. As far as I can tell the Cherokee Hints paper is only shipped in the box with the STC and instalation instructions.

Q: Do you sell replacement o-rings for these gascolators?

Q: Are the diameters mentioned in reference chart(1/2", 3/8") are inner or outer ones? Which fittings and drain plugs shall I use with SA3-10A(05-00894)?

The 3/8" National Pipe Thread is actually 1/2" inside diameter. The drain valve is a 1/8 npt , preferably a Curtis 1550 valve (05-01869).

The recommended drain plug will be either CCA-1550 or CAV-110.

Q: Could you indicate me the right quick drain plug for SA3-00-B?

The unit has 1/8" NPT threads, so the drain valve needs to be the same. There are a couple styles to choose from. Please review part numbers CCA-1550 and CAV-110 on our web site. Both are are 1/8"NPT and are commonly used as drain valves on gascolators.

Q: Does this include a mounting bracket?
