There are 3 types of Gascolator produced by Andair.
The first, and newest addition to the product line is the Mini Gascolator. This has been designed
for easy removal of the bowl and cleaning. To remove the bowl all that is necessary is to pull out
the locking pin then twist and pull off. It is the same sort of set up as the old camera lenses.
The Mini Gascolator comes with 1/4" NPT side fittings machined directly into the units' body.
The other 2 Gascolators have been designed for 3/8" and 1/2" lines. Each type has a screw locking
ring that prevents the bowl from comming off, and a facility for this to be wirelocked. The bowl
is internally sealed with an Viton (R) O-ring. A PTFE coated 70 micron Stainless Steel mesh is used as the
filter screen. The PTFE coating helps prevent water from passing, by maintaining it as a droplet
formation. A large filter area is present and wide passages have been incoropated so that the
pressure loss through the Gascolators is kept to an absolute minimum. There is an 1/8 NPT hole on
the bottom of the bowl so it can be drained and also one on the top of the body. This one can be
used as a pressure tapping or a filtered supply to the primer pump. A selection of fittings can
also be used with the GAS375 and the GAS500.
Click the Accessories - Fittings for more details, the fittings can be chosen and swapped during the interactive ordering process. All
the Gascolator include a self bleeding air bleed. Here, on first use, and immidiatly after the
bowl/filter has been removed the air trapped inside will automatically be purged out.
Spares for all of the Gascolators manufactured by Andair are available from the Accessories - Gascolator Spares page.
