Facet products

Carbon steel structural components. Maximum differential pressure: 75 psi (5.25 kg/cm²). Retention ratings available in 2, 5, 10 & 25 microns. Designed to fit Facet Fuel-Gard 21 & 22 housings. The Facet VF-21SB/22SB can be used as a filter housing. They are versatile, compact, light weight housings and provide superior in-line filtration protection. Both interior and exterior surfaces of the carbon steel body are epoxy coated to protect against corrosion. This sturdy, single cartridge housing is easy to maintain and requires only 2” (51 mm) base clearance for cartridge change out.

Facet’s standard carbon steel VCS Series SuperFlex™ Coalescer Separators are small, economical housings for in-line removal of water and solids from aviation fuels where water content is a problem. Using Facet high quality coalescer and separator cartridges, they provide the best water and solids removal.

Facet’s SM Series synthetic separator cartridges feature a specially developed treated hydrophobic media. This media provides improved separation of fine water drops compared to standard Teflon screen. An ultrasonically seamed double tube of the synthetic screen is placed around an epoxy coated metal shell, then adhesive bonded to metal end caps with gaskets. Facet SM Series separators have the distinctive Facet Velocigard which provides balanced flow of product throughout the cartridge. All metal components are treated to resist corrosion. Maximum recommended operating temperature is 240 ºF (115 ºC). For compatibility in extreme operating conditions, other gasket, adhesive and metal materials are available.

The Facet 2" (51 mm.) nominal outside diameter FG Series Fuel-Gard® monitor cartridges perform three jobs—they absorb free and emulsified water, remove ultra-fine solids and shut down system flow when hit with a localized slug of water, giving you clean, dry fuel. The FG Series Fuel-Gard® monitor cartridges are designed to flow from the outside to inside at a rate of 1 gpm (3.79 lpm) per inch of length. Fuel-Gard® monitor cartridges meet the 7th edition of EI 1583 Specification —Laboratory Test and Minimum Performance Levels for Aviation Fuel Filter Monitors.

The primary purpose of clay treatment is to protect aviation fuel filtration systems and jet fuel by removing trace quantities of surfactants (surface active agents), color and additives commonly found in fuel. Facet’s specially selected Attapulgus clay greatly resists water saturation and provides maximum surfactant adsorptivity and filtration area found in clay treater cartridges.

Facet M Series high efficiency pleated paper filter cartridges are designed to effectively remove solid contaminants such as rust, dirt, scale, granular and other types of solids. These cartridges known as the MP Series high efficiency filter cartridges are constructed to meet the demanding requirements of the industrial filter market. Media with high efficiencies throughout the life of the cartridges are available in ratings of 0.5 to 75 microns. The filtration of potable liquids is not recommended with this series of filter cartridges.

Facet’s Go-No-Go (GNG) absorptive cartridges perform two jobs with one cartridge. It absorbs water and removes solids reliably and efficiently. As the product stream flows from the outside of the cartridge to the inside, the GNG special water absorbent medium retains water, and the pleats expand. As the maximum water holding capacity is reached, there is a reduction in flow. The cartridge slows, then stops the flow of product as it reaches maximum capacity. This indicates that the cartridge is ready to be changed, assuring you of clean, dry product.

Facet`s Model MG glass fiber depth filter cartridges are for removing colloidal, slimy or sludge type solids 10 micron and larger or where compatibility problems exist with cellulose media. Our pleated paper filter media is made from a variety of natural and synthetic fibers. The fibers are bonded using various resins to provide excellent filtration and solids holding characteristics. The cartridges are 6" (152 mm) OD, 3 ½" (89 mm) ID and 14 ½" (368 mm) long.
