Products / Parker / Filters Separators and Purifiers / Disposable Fuel Filter / Water Separator – SNAPP™ Series
The Racor SNAPP™ Series is a compact, easy-to-service, disposable fuel filter water separator designed for use in mobile and stationary gasoline and diesel engines. It has no threads or seals, making change-outs quick, clean, and painless.
The SNAPP™ Series is a compact, disposable
fuel filter water separator with premium filtration capabilities.
Unlike conventional small engine filters, which use a spin-on
element that requires a strap wrench to service, the SNAPP™ filter
features a patented bracket system and quick-connect fittings that
eliminate the need for seals or threads. This allows change-outs to
be performed quickly, easily, and without the use of tools. The
filter only requires 2-1/2 inches front clearance for servicing,
making it suitable for installation wherever you need it.
The SNAPP™ filter housing’s one-piece, high-impact nylon structure
is coupled with a powder-coated or stainless steel (for marine use)
mounting bracket to resist corrosion in all environments. The clear
collection bowl allows for accurate inspection of fuel quality. A
self-vent drain is also available for easy removal of collected
water.
At the heart of the SNAPP™ fuel filter is Racor’s proprietary
Aquabloc® technology. Aquabloc® is a unique engineered media that
incorporates pleat-spacing corrugations and a graduated pore
structure to increase dirt-holding capacity and extend filter life.
The media is waterproof and rustproof, capturing contaminants while
the specially treated surface separates and coalesces water from the
fuel; causing the water to gather into large droplets that then fall
into the clear collection bowl.
Aquabloc® elements are available in three different ratings,
including:
30 micron (98%@30 micron) – Ideally suited as a pre-filter to
protect downstream filters from excessive contamination. Extends the
life of on-engine filters. Flow up 26 gph (129 lph) in both gasoline
and diesel using the SNAPP™ filter.
10 micron (98%@10 micron) - Captures more contaminants than 30
micron elements, and is more effective at stopping water. Extends
the life of the entire fuel system. Flow up 34 gph (129 lph) in
gasoline and 26 gph (98 lpm) diesel using the SNAPP™ filter.
“2” micron (98%@4 microns) – Provides maximum water removal and
filtration and is capable of protecting all modern injection
systems, while greatly extending the life of difficult-to-service
on-engine filters. Flow up 40 gph (151 lph) in gasoline and 26 gph
(98 lpm) in diesel using the SNAPP™ filter.
How it Works
The SNAPP™ filter can be installed in the fuel line between the tank
and the engine. The filter “snaps” into its mounting bracket. The
quick-connect fittings allow for fast connection to fuel lines. The
inlet and outlet ports can be positioned as necessary by flipping
the SNAPP™ filter in the bracket. Changing the filter can be done by
squeezing the quick release fitting tabs, removing and priming the
new filter (flow outlet of old to inlet of new), re-attaching fuel
lines, and snapping the new filter into the bracket.
Markets:
• Agriculture
• Construction
• Power Generation
• Oil and Gas
• Marine
Applications:
• Diesel and Biodiesel Engines
• Gasoline Engines
Benefits:
• At just 4 inches wide with 2 to 2-1/2 inch bolt spacing, the
SNAPP™ filter and bracket easily replaces existing filters and can
be mounted anywhere you need it.
• Quick-connect fittings eliminate the need for tools, making filter
change-outs quick, easy, and painless.
• Removes water that enters the system through condensation in the
fuel tank. Any water present in the fuel stream will support
bacterial growth, which can cause clogged filters and result in the
formation of corrosive acids. Susceptible components then rust and
corrode, leading to erosion and wear of critical fuel system
components.
• Removes hard particles present in air that are introduced during
fueling, such as sand and silica.
• Saves time and money by eliminating unplanned maintenance and
unscheduled downtime from system component failure.
• Suitable for use in both marine and non-marine applications
