Maxitrol GF80-1212-A-0 Filter

The Maxitrol GF80-1212-A-0 is a heavy-duty 1 1/2" NPT gas filter engineered to protect downstream components, such as regulators and automatic shut-off valves, from particulate contamination. Designed for high-demand industrial and commercial burner systems, this cast aluminum gas filter features a rugged housing and a high-capacity polypropylene impregnated fleece matting. This advanced depth-effect filtration media effectively captures and separates dust and debris, preventing any particulate larger than 50 microns from infiltrating the gas line. With a 15 PSI max inlet pressure rating, this unit is essential for maintaining the integrity of piping systems carrying natural gas, LP gas, or air mixtures.

Field-proven in process heating and commercial cooking applications, the GF80-1212-A-0 supports multi-positional mounting, though installing with the lid facing down is the preferred method to simplify debris removal. The compact footprint allows for seamless HVAC gas line filtration retrofits in tight mechanical rooms without requiring extensive repiping. By ensuring clean fuel delivery, technicians can significantly reduce equipment downtime caused by clogged orifices or fouled valve seats. This filter complies with critical industry standards, including DIN 3386, and is built to withstand ambient temperatures ranging from -4 to 175° F.

• 50-micron filtration level ensures maximum protection for sensitive downstream control valves and meters.
• High dust-holding capacity through specialized matting reduces the frequency of maintenance cycles and pressure drop issues.
• Durable aluminum construction provides long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments and gas distribution headers.
• Replaceable filter inserts (Part #101706-3) enable quick servicing without removing the entire housing from the 1.5-inch NPT line.
• Multi-gas compatibility permits use with natural, manufactured, mixed, and liquefied petroleum gases.

• What is the maximum operating pressure for this unit? The GF80-1212-A-0 is rated for a maximum inlet pressure of 15 PSI (1 bar).
• Does this filter require a specific mounting orientation? It is suitable for multi-poise mounting, but for the best technician experience during cleanouts, mount it with the cover facing downward or to the side.
• Can the filter element be cleaned or must it be replaced? While the housing is permanent, the inner gas filter insert should be inspected regularly and replaced to prevent excessive pressure drop across the system.
