Fuel-Gard - Model FG Series 2 Inch -Aviation Monitor
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 presence of water or solids in the incoming fuel will be indicated by an increase in the pressure differential or a decrease in the flow rate as the cartridges reach their maximum capacity for solids, water or a combination of both. When either happens, the cartridges should be replaced.
Each FG Series Fuel-Gard® monitor cartridge is constructed of various water absorbent media, plus fine filtration layers wrapped around a molded center tube for balanced flow and structural strength—all encased in a protective outer sock material. The end cap material is of injection molded, glass-filled nylon which provides superior strength and ease of maintenance. This material gives excellent support for the o-ring on the mounting/adaptor end.
