Maxitrol GF60-66-A-0 Filter
The Maxitrol GF60-66-A-0 Filter is a critical inline component designed to protect downstream gas pressure regulators and automatic shut-off valves from particulate damage. Built for the rigors of commercial and industrial gas trains, this 3/4" NPT gas filter features a high-grade polypropylene impregnated fleece matting that captures 100% of particles larger than 50 microns. With a 15 PSI max inlet pressure rating, it is a versatile solution for natural gas filtration, LP gas, and compressed air systems. The cast aluminum housing ensures durability in various mounting orientations, though experienced techs prefer installation with the lid facing down to simplify debris removal during maintenance. Regular inspection of the internal filter insert is necessary whenever the pressure drop exceeds the manufacturer’s threshold to maintain optimal burner efficiency and system safety.
Key Benefits- Downstream Equipment Protection: Prevents debris from reaching the sensitive valve seats of gas pressure regulators and solenoid valves.
- High-Efficiency Media: Utilizes 50-micron fleece matting with a deep-bed design for extended service intervals and high dust-holding capacity.
- Multi-Poise Installation: The 3/4" NPT connections and compact aluminum housing support horizontal or vertical mounting configurations.
- Broad Media Compatibility: Validated for use with natural gas, LP gas mixtures, manufactured gases, and air.
- Maintenance Accessibility: Features a removable cover for rapid inspection and replacement of the filter matting without disturbing the main piping.
- What is the maximum pressure limit for the GF60 series? The Maxitrol GF60-66-A-0 is rated for a maximum operating inlet pressure of 15 PSI.
- Which gas types can this filter handle? It is suitable for natural gas, LP, mixed gases, and air. It is frequently employed in systems requiring NFPA 86 compliance.
- How often should the filter insert be replaced? We recommend replacing the insert whenever the pressure drop reaches 10 mbar (1 kPa) or during annual preventative maintenance cycles.
