Canister Separator
SI Series
Fully Qualified to EI 1581 5th Edition, Category M
DESCRIPTION
The SI-xxxx Series separator canister is composed of an inner Teflon®-
coated 200 mesh screen. The open endcap on the five inch canister has
a locking bayonet mount with wavy spring. The blind end has a nozzle to
fit a DOD coalescer o-ring endcap.
APPLICATION
The SI-xxxx Series separator canisters are made to fit over first stage
coalescers in DOD military vessels such as those originally made to the
MIL-F-27629, MIL-F- 27630, and MIL-PRF-52308 specifications. Open endcap with bayonet mount
The inner Teflon coating repels water droplets as fuel exits the canisters,
adding another layer of protection to the fueling system. The water
droplets in the annular gap between the outside diameter of the
coalescer and the inside diameter of the separator canister fall to the
sump area at the bottom of the filter vessel, where they can then be
drained.

DESCRIPTION
The Parker Velcon coalescer and separator are installed
together in the Vel-Max® housing to remove water and dirt
from fuel. The fuel passes from the outside to the inside
