Altecnic Dirtcal Dirt Separator 1 1/4F

The Dirtcal Dirt Separator 1 1/4F is a dirt separation device manufactured by Altecnic. It forms part of the Altecnic dirt and air separation range and is installed in a heating system to capture circulating debris before it reaches the boiler and other components. The 1 1/4F designation indicates a 1 1/4 inch female connection.

• Sludge or black oxide debris is no longer being collected, with deposits passing through to the boiler
• Visible leaks or weeping from the separator body, seals or connections
• Persistent cold spots or poor circulation in the system that point to debris remaining in suspension
• Corrosion or physical damage to the separator housing
• Increased noise from the boiler or pump consistent with debris in the circuit

• Confirm the pipework connection size and thread type match the 1 1/4 inch female fitting
• Check the installation position and available space, as the separator must be fitted where flow passes through it
• Verify the system type and water treatment requirements are suitable for a dirt separator
• Note that the unit may contain residual water from testing and requires support during installation
