The Facet 21 Series Fuel-Gard monitors, installed with one Fuel-Gard monitor cartridge, will continually check the entire flow of fuel, not just mere samples, for water or solids contamination. By performing three jobs, this small compact monitor assures clean, dry fuel. It absorbs free and emulsified water, removes ultra-fine solids even when surfactants and fuel additives are present, and shuts down the system flow when hit with a localized slug of water.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.
