Description
VELCON 1" VF31E Aviation Filter Housing and Element
These filter housings are versatile housings designed for use with several different high performance Aquacon® and other filter cartridges. Refer to the cartridge selection table below for application and other details.
Aquacon® cartridges filter out water by chemically locking it into layers of super-absorbent media. Water capacity is as much as 1.5 quarts, depending on the specific vessel and cartridge. These cartridges also effectively filter out dirt, rust and other particulates.
As an Aquacon® cartridge reaches its water-holding limit, the media expands very rapidly and restricts the flow. The pressure drop will rapidly increase, signalling the need to change cartridges.
FEATURES:
- Designed for use with Jet A1 and Avgas Aviation Fuels.
- Free and emulsified water to less than 5 ppm.
- 1/2 micron particulate removal.
- Provides protection against “slugs” of water.
- Pressure increase signals cartridge change.
- 1” NPT Threaded Female.
- Up to 60lpm flow rate.

(1) For Aviation and Diesel Fuel Systems, if system pressure can exceed 25 psi, always install pressure gauge or other means of determining differential pressure.
(2) See Data Sheet #1709 for absorbent cartridge (AC, AD) flow rates.
CAUTION
Do not use Aquacon® absorbent cartridges (AC, ACO or AD Series) with pre-mixed jet fuel containing anti-icing additives, or with gasoline/alcohol blends.
