Description
Coalescer and Separator Filter Element
The WIRES coalescer filter element is engineered for high-efficiency water separation from hydrocarbon fluids in aviation fuel, diesel, gasoline, and petrochemical liquid processing. Using advanced layered composite coalescing media, these elements capture fine water droplets, cause them to coalesce into larger droplets that gravitationally separate from the fuel stream, and deliver clean, dry fuel to downstream systems. A matched separator element with oleophobic-hydrophobic media provides final water polishing.
Key Features
- Advanced layered coalescing media: Multi-layer composite structure with treated glass fiber layers maximizes coalescence efficiency and solids holding capacity.
- High water removal efficiency: Handles inlet water content up to 10% and delivers outlet water content below 70 ppm.
- Meets industry standards: Structure and materials conform to API-1581 and GJB610-88 specifications.
- Corrosion-resistant construction: All metal components receive anti-corrosion surface treatment for long service life in hydrocarbon service.
- Widely configurable: Multiple diameters and lengths to fit standard fuel filter water separator housings.

Cross Reference
WIRES coalescer and separator elements are designed as replacements for standard fuel filter water separator housings used in aviation fueling, diesel distribution, and petrochemical liquid processing. They are commonly used as matched pairs (coalescer + separator) in multi-vessel fuel polishing systems. Contact us with your housing model for exact dimensional and performance cross-reference.
