Section Il. Equipment Description
1-6. EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES AND FEATURES
a. Characteristics.
(1) The 350 GPM (gallons per minute) filter/separator consists of a vessel with a removable cover, 18
canisters and filter elements, a differential pressure indicator, a water level sight gage, a manual
water drain valve and a manual air vent valve. The inlet and outlet connections are cam lock type
quick disconnect couplings.
(2) An adapter is supplied with the filter/separator to allow attachment of a fuel contamination test kit to
determine if the unit is filtering properly.
b. Capabilities and Features.
(1) Frame mounted, two stage, vertical-type unit,
(2) All weather operational.
(3) Fully transportable.
1-7 LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS

SIGHT GAGE (1). Indicates the level of water in the vessel.
DRAIN VALVE (2). Ball-type valve for manually draining water from vessel.
PRESSURE GAGE (3). Indicates the differential between inlet and outlet pressures to determine filter
element condition.
AIR VENT VALVE (4). Manually operated valve to release air from the vessel.
FRAME AND VESSEL (5). Provides a housing for the 18 canisters and filter elements. The tubular
rectangular frame is designed to facilitate handling during transport and provide a stable base for the
filter/separator during operation.
ADAPTER ASSEMBLY (6). This adapter is connected at the filter/separator outlet coupling. The adapter
contains a sampling probe which extends into the fuel flow. A Water Detector Kit may be connected to the
probe for fuel sampling.
