BI-DIRECTIONAL
Vertical DIRTCAL
®
The vertical DIRTCAL
®
dirt separator efficiently
removes dirt particles
with significantly less
clogging of the internal
mesh element compared
to normal Y-strainers.
Additionally, the large
dirt collection chamber
requires less frequent
cleaning, which can
be done by simply
opening the drain
valve to discharge
the accumulated dirt
particles, even with the
system running. The
special internal shape
of the separator body is
designed to maximize
fluid flow rate with low
head loss. Flow direction
of the DIRTCAL
®
dirt separator is bi-directional; flow in either direction
is permitted.
DIRTMAG
®
The versatile DIRTMAG
®
magnetic dirt separator
removes both magnetic
and non-magnetic
particles continuously. In
addition to removing sand
and rust impurities with
a glass-reinforced nylon
internal element in a low-
velocity-zone chamber,
the DIRTMAG
®
features
a powerful removable
external magnet around
the body below the flow
line for fast and effective
capture of ferrous
particles. The DIRTMAG
®
has the magnet positioned
externally to maintain
low pressureloss, and
removes up to 95% of
the ferrous oxide particles
that can form in a hydronic system. Captured impurities are easily flushed
by unclamping the collar and purging- even with the system still in operation.
Use of top connector
The connector on top of the dirt separator can be used for optional
installation of an automatic air vent valve, Caleffi code 502243A for the
threaded or sweat versions, 5462 Series (A), replacing the standard
1/2" NPT Male plug (code NA10044). Use Caleffi code 501502A for the
flanged version 5465 and NA5465 Series (C) — replacing the standard
3/4" NPT End Cap (code 41525).
Use of bottom connector
The dirt separators come complete with drain valves installed on
thebottom port: Caleffi code 538402 FD for horizontal threaded or
sweat versions, 5462 series (B); code 538400 for vertical versions,
NA5469 series and code NA39753 for flanges version, 5465 and
NA5465 series (C).
Draining off dirt
The dirt separator collection chamber has a drain valve. Using the
handle provided it is possible to drain off the accumulated dirt particles
even with the system in operation.
Maintenance
To perform
maintenance,
simply use a 26 mm
hexagon wrench (1)
to unscrew the dirt
collection chamber,
to which the inner
mesh element is
connected for removal
and for cleaning.
