Filtration Separator kfa² KFA 720-000-20 — 3/4 inch inlet/outlet

Filtration Separator kfa² KFA 720-000-20 — 3/4 inch inlet/outlet is an inline unit engineered to remove sediment and particulate contaminants from water and other compatible fluids. The device integrates separation and filtration functions to reduce solids in domestic and light commercial plumbing circuits, helping maintain cleaner delivery to downstream appliances, valves and fixtures and easing routine maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The filtration separator provides combined mechanical separation and fine filtration in a compact 3/4 inch in-line housing. Its design minimizes pressure drop while effectively capturing sand, rust and larger suspended particles. The unit is suitable for installation in both horizontal and vertical pipe runs where access and space are limited, and it requires only periodic flushing or servicing to restore full capacity. Materials and internal geometry are selected to resist typical potable water conditions and to provide reliable operation over repeated maintenance cycles.

Suitable for

• Domestic water supply lines to protect appliances such as water heaters, washing machines and dishwashers
• Light commercial plumbing systems in small businesses or offices
• Pre-filtration before precision valves, meters and flow devices
• Applications where sediment and particulate removal reduces maintenance frequency

Key specifications

• Connection size: 3/4 inch inlet and outlet compatible with standard threaded pipe fittings
• Function: combined separation and filtration for suspended solids and sediment
• Flow direction: inline configuration with defined inlet and outlet orientation
• Operational context: suitable for potable water and similar fluid systems within standard domestic pressure ranges
• Maintenance: serviceable element with manual flushing or element replacement as required

How to use

Install the filtration separator in the supply line following the indicated flow direction, using appropriate thread seal and compatible fittings. For best performance place the unit upstream of appliances and valves that require protection from particulate contamination. After installation, open the supply slowly to check for leaks and confirm correct operation. Perform periodic inspection and maintenance according to local water quality and sediment load: shut off the water, depressurize the line, remove or access the service element and flush or clean as needed before reassembly.

Usage recommendations

Position the unit where it is accessible for periodic servicing and avoid locations exposed to freezing temperatures. Monitor pressure drop after installation; a significant increase indicates the need for cleaning. Use compatible thread sealants and follow local plumbing codes for installation.
