Maxitrol GF80-1616-A-0 Filter

When protecting sensitive downstream components like high-capacity regulators and automatic shut-off valves, the Maxitrol GF80-1616-A-0 is a standard-tier choice for professional contractors. Built with a 2" NPT connection, this filter is engineered to maintain a clean fuel supply in commercial and industrial gas piping systems. It handles a 15 PSI maximum inlet pressure and is specifically designed to trap particulates down to 50 microns (0.05mm), preventing debris from fouling valve seats or obstructing orifices in your heating equipment.

This gas and air filter is compatible with a wide range of media, including natural gas, LP gas, and air mixtures, complying with NFPA 86 requirements for fuel line strainers. The cast aluminum housing provides a lightweight yet durable footprint, and its multipoise mounting flexibility—preferably with the lid facing down—makes maintenance straightforward in tight mechanical rooms. By utilizing a high-surface polypropylene fleece insert with a deep-set filtering effect, the GF80-1616-A-0 effectively manages pressure drop while maximizing the life of your burners and process heating controls.

• High Particulate Capacity: The polypropylene impregnated fleece provides a wide filtering surface that prevents infiltration of particles larger than 50 microns.
• Versatile Compatibility: Rated for natural, manufactured, mixed, and liquefied petroleum gases as well as LP-air mixtures.
• Compact Footprint: Designed for easy retrofitting into existing gas trains where space is at a premium.
• Field-Serviceable Design: Features a simple cover removal process for quick filter insert replacement or cleaning without removing the entire housing from the line.
• Robust Temperature Range: Reliable performance across an ambient temperature range of -4 to 175°F.

• What is the maximum operating pressure? This unit is rated for a 15 PSI maximum inlet pressure, making it suitable for both low and medium-pressure distribution lines.
• How often should the filter insert be replaced? Frequency depends on gas quality and pressure drop, but a yearly inspection and replacement cycle is the standard professional recommendation.
• Can this be mounted horizontally? Yes, it supports multi-positional mounting, though installing with the lid downward facilitates easier debris removal during servicing.
