Filter, Separator, or both?
« on: July 17, 2013, 12:55:59 PM »
Shipmates,

Anyone have or recognize this little jewel?

Is it just a Gas/Water separator, or Filter as well?

Any help leading to a manufacturer is appreciated!

Thanks!

It's a filter/water-separator.  The shape of the top casting looks similar to a Racor:

Thanks Ed!

That's what I thought. I'll take a better look at it this weekend. As that looks like a direct replacement dimensionally,  I might replace the whole thing rather than attempting to replace just it's filter since I think the element section itself looks a tad different.

After the 5 gal bucket of "GNDN" wiring (Goes Nowhere-Does Nothing) I pulled out of Sea Haven this weekend Neptune only knows the last time that filter was replaced.

I found wiring....good wiring connected to the alternator running off just to dead end! lol Rats nest galore!! Home Depot Wire nuts, etc!

Anyway, expected in a 35 yo vessel! But I always say the best way to know your boat is get into it and NEVER believe the previous owner followed ABYC Standards!

Hey all!

FWIW look'it what I found trolling for Racor pricing: RACOR 110A

It's replacement Element: RACOR RT11S (GAS)

Of course we need Documentation: RACOR 110A Manual

Apparently it's still in "vogue" (manufacturing) lol

All along I'm wondering if it was factory supplied. Nice to see I don't need a whole new unit.
