Filter 10" - for hot water - 1 "F; without cartridge GEL.DEPURA 1000 OTR

Product detailed description

Hot water filtration systems are essential in residential and commercial buildings where water heating systems require protection from mechanical impurities. Installers working on central heating, domestic hot water circuits and industrial hot water systems often encounter suspended solids and sediment that can damage components like heat exchangers, pumps and valves. This 10 inch filter provides a reliable solution for removing such contaminants from hot water flows, ensuring system efficiency and longevity.

Typical applications include boiler feed lines, circulation loops and storage tank inlets where water quality is critical. The filter is installed in straight pipe runs with appropriate support to prevent stress on the connections. The design allows for easy cartridge replacement without disrupting the entire system, making it suitable for both new installations and retrofit projects.

Technical parameters

Material	Filter head: brass
Operating temperature	+80 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 8
Mounting key	Code 125.210.50
Code	101.141.00
Brand	IVAR

The PN 8 pressure rating ensures the filter is suitable for low-pressure hot water systems, while the maximum operating temperature of +80 °C defines its compatibility with standard domestic and industrial hot water circuits. The brass filter head provides durability and resistance to corrosion in hot water environments. The 1 inch F connection size is standard for most hot water applications and must be verified against system requirements during sizing.

Installation and connection

The filter is installed using a 1 inch F thread connection, which must be tightened with a suitable wrench to ensure a secure fit. The recommended mounting key is code 125.210.50. Installers should check the direction of flow indicated on the filter body to ensure correct orientation. A common mistake is neglecting to support the filter body with pipe clamps, which can lead to stress on the connections and potential leaks. The filter should be placed in an accessible location for future cartridge replacement and maintenance.

Compatibility and accessories

This filter is compatible with both GEL.DEPURA 1000 OTR and GEL.DEPURA 3000 OTR filter cartridges. The 1000 model allows for the use of various 10 inch filter cartridges, while the 3000 model is restricted to 10/3000 type cartridges. Installers must ensure the correct cartridge type is selected based on the system requirements and water quality. Additional components such as filter cartridges and mounting keys should be ordered separately to complete the installation.

Technical background for designers

The filter operates by allowing water to pass through a replaceable cartridge that captures mechanical impurities. The brass filter head provides structural integrity and resistance to thermal expansion, while the TROGAMID filter housing ensures chemical resistance in hot water environments. The system integration requires consideration of flow rates, pressure drop across the filter and the need for regular cartridge replacement. The service life and efficiency of the filter depend on the quality of the water being filtered and the frequency of cartridge maintenance.

Service and operation

The filter requires periodic inspection and cartridge replacement to maintain filtration efficiency. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data. During operation, installers should monitor for signs of reduced flow or pressure drop, which may indicate a clogged cartridge. The filter should be isolated using shut-off valves before cartridge replacement to ensure safe working conditions.

Frequently asked questions
