Installation
Install filter using 2” couplers for inlet and outlet with 1”
coupler for drain pipe. Shut-off valves should be installed
on inlet, outlet and on drain pipe to be able to service the
filter and isolate it when necessary.
Pressure gauges are also recommended before and
after the filter to easily calculate the pressure differential
and to know when cartridge should be cleaned or
replaced. Threaded flanged fittings for inlet and outlet
are available by special order.
1/4” FPT Lid Fitting
One-quarter inch FPT fittings are installed
in Waterbetter
®
Filter lids for a number of
customer supplied options, including
petcock for pressure relief, pressure gauge,
sensor, thermocouple, etc. This fitting
should be plugged at time of installation if
one of these options is not installed.

Particle Separation
Particle separation with Hurricane
®
filters is influenced by particle
weight and flow rate. For optimum separation, the drain valve
should be opened routinely by hand or automatically using a timer
actuated valve. Automatic purge valves are not available from
Harmsco. However, for more information regarding this equipment,
please contact the Authorized Harmsco Distributor in your area.
The data shown below was developed through tests conducted
with Hurricane
®
filters and twenty micron filter cartridges to deter-
mine optimum flow rates for particle separation. Sand was used
as the test’s particulate with a specific gravity of 2.6 relative to
water at 1.0. This data is provided for general sizing purposes only.
Results vary and depend on the particulate being filtered, viscosity
and other variables.
