Function

The hydraulic separator is a device which makes the primary 
and secondary circuits connected to it independent, and can be 
used on hot and chilled water systems. The separator is supplied  
with an air vent and check valve assembly to provide automatic 
discharge of the air in the circuits, and a drain valve for removing 
impurities that collect at the bottom of the unit. 
These items are designed for use in closed hydronic systems. Do not 
use in plumbing applications. These items do not meet the low-lead 
plumbing standards of U.S. and Canada.
