Dirt Separator Afriso FAR 212 with Magnet and Drain Valve, Rp1" Connections, Max Flow 2.5 m3/h

Afriso FAR 212 is a dirt separator designed for closed heating and cooling systems. It integrates a magnetic insert and a drain valve to capture and remove both ferrous and non‑ferrous particles from circulation water, helping to protect pumps, valves and heat exchangers. The device features Rp1" threaded connections and supports system flow rates up to 2.5 m3/h while allowing periodic flushing without system disassembly.

Advantages

The combined magnetic and mechanical separation provides efficient removal of sludge, rust and particulate debris, reducing the risk of component wear and blockage. Built‑in drain valve simplifies maintenance by enabling controlled discharge of collected contaminants. Compact design with Rp1" connections allows straightforward installation in existing pipework. Materials and construction are suitable for use in typical HVAC environments and contribute to reliable, long‑term operation.

Suitable for

• Closed circuit heating systems in residential and light commercial buildings
• Chilled water and cooling circuits to protect heat exchangers and chillers
• Hydronic loops where magnetic and mechanical particle separation is required
• Retrofitting to protect pumps, valves and control devices from debris

Key specifications

• Connection type: Rp1" threaded
• Maximum flow rate: 2.5 m3/h
• Integrated magnetic insert for ferrous particle capture
• Drain valve for removal of collected contaminants
• Suitable for closed heating and cooling systems

How to use

Install the Afriso FAR 212 in a bypass or main return line where flow and access for periodic flushing are convenient; orient the separator according to the manufacturer's installation instructions so the magnetic insert and sediment chamber collect particles effectively. After installation, operate the system under normal conditions and perform regular inspections. To remove captured debris, isolate the separator if required, open the drain valve to flush out the contents and close the valve when discharge is complete. Follow local safety and commissioning procedures when working on pressurized systems.

Usage recommendations

For best results, integrate the dirt separator into a maintenance schedule that includes periodic visual inspection and flushing; check magnetic insert condition during service intervals and replace if heavily corroded or damaged. When selecting the installation location, provide sufficient working space around the device for access to the drain valve and for future removal if necessary.
