Maxitrol GF80M-1212-A-0 Filter

The Maxitrol GF80M-1212-A-0 is a high-capacity gas and air filter designed to protect downstream regulators and automatic shut-off valves from particulate contamination. Built with a rugged aluminum housing, this model features 1 1/2" BSP threads (ISO 7-1) and is rated for a 15 PSI maximum inlet pressure. It utilizes a high-efficiency polypropylene fleece filter mat capable of trapping particulates down to 50 microns (0.05 mm), meeting DIN 3386 standards for filtration performance. This industrial gas filter is essential for maintaining the longevity of sensitive combustion components in process heating, commercial cooking, and industrial burner applications. Its compact design allows for multi-position mounting, making it ideal for both original equipment integration and field retrofitting. Compatible with natural gas, LP gases, and air, the GF80M-1212-A-0 ensures a low pressure drop while providing a wide filtering surface area for extended service intervals in HVACR systems.

Key Benefits:

• Superior Protection: Captures debris as small as 50 microns to prevent damage to gas pressure regulators and valves.
• High Flow Efficiency: Engineered for a low pressure drop across the filter mat even during high-demand cycles.
• Durable Construction: Features a corrosion-resistant cast aluminum housing suitable for industrial burner environments.
• Versatile Compatibility: Tested for use with natural, mixed, and LP gases, as well as compressed air systems.
• Easy Maintenance: Designed with a removable cover for rapid inspection and cleaning of the filter insert.

Common Questions:

What is the maximum pressure rating for the GF80M-1212-A-0?
This unit is designed for a 15 PSI max inlet pressure, providing robust protection for low-to-medium pressure gas lines.

Is this filter compatible with NPT piping?
The GF80M-1212-A-0 uses 1 1/2" BSP threads. For standard American NPT installations, ensure you are utilizing the correct adapters or select the corresponding NPT model variant.

How often should the internal filter matting be serviced?
Maintenance intervals depend on gas quality and pressure drop. Technicians should monitor the differential pressure or inspect the polypropylene fleece during routine system combustion safety checks.
