For the steel DIRTMAG
®
, the ferrous impurities are captured by a concentrated
magnetic fi eld created by a stack of neodymium rare-earth magnets positioned
inside a brass dry-well below the fl ow stream.
Use of top connector
The connector on top of the dirt separator can be used for optional
installation of an automatic air vent valve, Caleffi code 502243A for the
threaded or sweat versions, 5462 and 5463 Series (A), replacing the
standard 1/2" NPT Male plug (code NA10044). Use Caleffi code 501502A
for the fl anged version 5465, NA5465, 5465M and NA5465M series (C) —
replacing the standard 3/4" NPT End Cap (code 41525).
Use of bottom connector
The dirt separators come complete with drain valves installed on thebottom
port: Caleffi code 538402 FD for horizontal threaded or sweat versions,
5462 series (B); and code NA39753 for fl anges version, 5465, NA5465,
5465M and NA5465M series (C).
Draining off dirt and ferrous impurities
The dirt separator collection chamber has a drain valve. Using the
handle provided it is possible to drain off the accumulated dirt particles
even with the system in operation.
For the brass DIRTMAG
®
, captured impurities are easily flushed by
unclamping the magnetic collar and purging.

To purge the ferrous impurities
in the steel DIRTMAG
®
, the
fl exible magnetic stack is
removed from the brass dry-
well and, with the system still
running, the drain valve is
opened. Aided by the system
pressure, the dirt and ferrous
impurities, including magnetite,
fl ushes out quickly and
effectively.
Maintenance
To perform maintenance, simply use a 26 mm
hexagon wrench (1) to unscrew the dirt collection
chamber, of the brass DIRTCAL
®
and DIRTMAG
®
,
to which the inner mesh element is connected for
removal and cleaning.
Operating principle DIRTMAG
®
Non-ferrous and ferrous impurities, including magnetite, in hydronic systems
can deposit onto heat exchanger surfaces and accumulate in pump cavities
causing reduced thermal effi ciency and premature wear. The small and often
microscopic magnetic particles, called magnetite, form when iron or steel
corrodes. Highly abrasive, the extremely fi ne particles are diffi cult to remove
by traditional means. DIRTMAG
®
separators offer highly effi cient separation
of typical dirt as well as magnetite. The versatile DIRTMAG
®
magnetic dirt
separator removes both ferrous and non-ferrous impurities continuously. In
addition to removing sand and rust impurities with an internal element in a
low-velocity-zone chamber, the DIRTMAG
®
features a powerful removable
magnet below the fl ow line for fast and effective capture of ferrous impurities.
The magnet removes up to 100% of the ferrous impurities, including
magnetite, that can form in a hydronic system.
For the brass DIRTMAG
®
, the ferrous
impurities are captured by a strong
neodymium rare-earth magnetic fi eld created
by a powerful removable magnet around the
body below the fl ow line.
