Maxitrol GF40-44-A-0 Filter

Protect your downstream regulators and automatic shut-off valves with the Maxitrol GF40-44-A-0, a professional-grade 1/2" NPT gas and air filter designed to handle a 15 PSI maximum inlet pressure. As a veteran technician, you know that particulate contamination is the leading cause of premature component failure in high-demand systems. This filter utilizes a high-capacity polypropylene fleece filter matting that effectively captures dust and debris down to 50 microns (0.05mm), ensuring clean fuel delivery for residential, commercial cooking, and industrial burner applications. Its durable cast aluminum housing is built for longevity and features a compact footprint, making it an ideal choice for both new NFPA 86 compliant installations and field retrofits. Engineered for peak performance in temperatures ranging from -4 to 175° F, the GF40-44-A-0 is compatible with natural, manufactured, mixed, and liquefied petroleum (LP) gases, as well as air and sewer gas. The multi-positional mounting design and easily accessible cover simplify routine maintenance, allowing for rapid filter insert replacement to maintain optimal flow and prevent excessive pressure drop across the line.

• Enhanced Component Protection: Safeguards sensitive gas pressure regulators and solenoid valves from particulate contamination that causes internal seat damage and clogging.
• High-Efficiency Filtration: The 50-micron depth-effect matting provides an extremely high capacity for dust accumulation without significantly impacting gas flow.
• Rugged Construction: Durable cast aluminum housing stands up to rigorous industrial environments while maintaining a lightweight profile.
• Versatile Compatibility: Threaded 1/2" NPT connections ensure seamless integration into existing piping for natural gas and LP gas systems.
• NFPA 86 Compliance: Meets essential requirements for installing gas filters or strainers on new oven and furnace fuel gas supply lines.

• How often should the filter insert be replaced? For most 15 PSI systems, it is recommended to inspect and replace the Maxitrol filter matting at least once a year, or sooner if a significant pressure drop is detected.
• Can this filter be installed in any orientation? Yes, the GF40-44-A-0 supports multi-positional mounting, though it is best practice to install it with the lid facing down or to the side to facilitate debris removal during cleaning.
• Is this unit suitable for outdoor use? With an ambient temperature range of -4°F to 175°F, it is appropriate for most environments, provided it is protected from direct moisture and environmental extremes.
