Install Instructions
For chiller systems, it is recommended that a MagnaClean is installed on the return of the system before the chiller.
Installation with a Low loss header
Installation with Cascade (zoned) system
* Position A is the recommended
best practice installation option.
Position B could be added in as an
option to further protect the system.

MagnaClean
®
Commercial
™
is an incredibly powerful range of magnetic filters designed to remove black iron
oxide sludge from light commercial hydronic heating systems through to heavy industrial applications.
The exceptional design characteristics and high production quality of MagnaClean Commercial make installation
and ongoing maintenance extremely straightforward.
Correct installation and servicing is essential to ensure optimum operating performance and a longer
operational life for the system.
Flexible magnetic filtration options
As can be seen in the diagram below, MagnaClean Commercial provides a number of installation solutions in
terms of unit size and location. The typical HVAC system illustrated identifies two of these options within the
various circuits.

Step by step guide to installation
NOTE: Do not remove the magnets completely out of the filter. Individual magnets, during servicing, are to be lifted
slowly to the service position only (see servicing instructions for more information). If a magnet is entirely removed,
care should be taken at all times to ensure the magnets are not placed near another metallic/magnetic source.
It is necessary to keep the magnets and pockets dry at all times.
NOTE: We recommend that MagnaClean is fitted on the primary circuit on the return to the boiler.
IMPORTANT: The filter must be installed in an upright position.
Follow the illustrations and measurements for easy installation of MagnaClean Commercial.
There are four key steps to successful installation:
Step 1
Use the measurement table to identify the correct length of pipework to be cut-out (refer to measurement ‘A’).
Allow extra length for isolation valves, if required.
It is recommended that the filter is fitted on the primary circuit on the return to the boiler.
Give consideration to the area above MagnaClean to access the magnets during servicing. Refer to dimension ‘H2’ on
measurement table shown.
Step 2
Using appropriate fittings, fit the valves to the two ASME B16.5 Class 150 flanges using suitable gaskets.
Step 3
Install the MagnaClean Commercial, ensuring that all fittings are aligned correctly and securely.
Install a fixed drainage pipe and drain valve to the 1¼”NPT drain point at the base of the unit (remove the drain plug
first). Alternatively, place a bucket underneath the unit and remove the drain plug during servicing.
Step 4
Having checked the installation, run the system for a period of time. Ensure the isolation valves are fully open and
there are no leaks.
