1. Flow rates are for pleated paper cartridges. For higher viscosity fluids, consult your Parker AFD Representative.
2.  FAP Series Filters are designed to accommodate our standard 6 in. O.D., 3 ½ in. I.D., 14 ½ in. long cartridges that are stacked one, two,
V
or three high. Many cartridges are available in longer lengths that eliminate stacking. For example, a 44 inch long FO-644PLF1M could
be used in place of three 14 ½ inch long cartridges. This makes for easier and less expensive changeouts.
3. A number of threaded base filter cartridges (e.g. FO-644PLF5TB) are available, which allow for easier cartridge changeout and removal
of particulate matter from the deckplates. The threaded base cartridges mount on the 6000T Adapters.
4. Dimensions shown are for estimating purposes only. For exact dimensions, obtain certified drawing.
5. VFAP16 and VFAP20 Series vessels have flat covers. VFAP16 Series vessels do not have hydraulic lift jacks.

VC Series - Parker Velcon Standard Canister Design Offers
Many Advantages over Bag-Type Design

VC Series are for use with Parker

Velcon clay cartridges in applications
such as removing surfactants from
jet fuel and acids or products of
oxidation. The standard design is
fitted for canister type cartridges
with knife seal mounting hardware.
Parker AFD recommends a standard
canister design because it offers
many advantages over the bag type.

The Importance of Spiders
CAUTION: FAILURE TO INSTALL SPIDERS CAN RESULT IN POOR VESSEL
PERFORMANCE AND INTERNAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION FROM STATIC DISCHARGE
Spider plates (spiders) are an
important part of a filter separator
vessel. Spiders are usually made of
aluminum or stainless steel, and
may be rigid or open-mesh design.
Spiders are fitted over the ends of
various types of filter cartridges
within the filter vessel.

There are five purposes for spiders

in vessels:
1. To keep the cartridges
separated in order to equalize
flow around the cartridges,
and to provide paths for the
coalesced water drops to fall
to the sump

2. To give support to the “free”

ends of the cartridges (the
ends not rigid against the
deckplate)

3. To prevent microbial growth

4. To meet EI 1581 5th Edition Figure 1. Two spiders in horizontal filter/separator bonded by clips to

5. To prevent static discharge which could eventually loosen the Spiders in the various vessels

Keeping the coalescers (first stage Another reason to keep the solid electrical path from the spider

39
 Insure that these spiders are
bonded electrically to the vessel
by attaching to a metal clip, or by
a braided stainless steel wire to the
separator spider (see Fig. 2).
When converting a pre-filter
(micronic) vessel from open-
ended cartridges with tie rods to
screw-base cartridges, ensure the
spider is somehow bonded to the
vessel either by support clips on
the vessel interior or by the braided
stainless steel wire to the baffle
plate (see Fig. 3).
A prefilter vessel with no internal
baffle plate is a problem. The
purpose of the baffle plate or angle
iron is to divert flow to the top of
the vessel so the full flow does

been converted to screw-base filter
cartridges, and had an unbonded
spider at the top. There was visual
and audio evidence of internal
electrical discharge. Spiders,
properly bonded, are important
components of filter vessels!
