Replacement Faudi 60.677 Series Separator Filter Element – Product Guide

Introduction

In any filter/water separator system, the separator element acts as the final barrier against water contamination. After the coalescer stage merges fine water droplets into larger ones, the separator element ensures that any remaining water is blocked from passing downstream. The Faudi 60.677 series replacement elements are specifically designed for this critical role. Qualified to EI 1581 6th Edition Category C standards, they are constructed with epoxy-coated steel inner tubes, glass fibre reinforced polyamide end caps stamped with date of manufacture and ID number, and NBR (Buna-N) end seals for leak-proof performance. Available in Teflon®-coated stainless steel mesh (reusable) or synthetic plastic mesh (disposable) configurations, the 60.677 series delivers reliable water separation for the most demanding fuel handling applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between the "D" and "P" suffix versions in the 60.677 series?

A: The "D" suffix indicates elements with Teflon®-coated stainless steel screen mesh, which can be cleaned, inspected, and reused during coalescer element changeouts. Small areas of damage can be temporarily repaired. The "P" suffix denotes synthetic plastic mesh elements designed for single-use disposable applications, which should be replaced during coalescer element changeouts.

Q2: What are the recommended storage conditions for these separator elements?

A: The manufacturer recommends storage at 20°C with maximum 50% humidity in original packaging. The maximum storage time is 60 months from the date of shipment out of stock.

Q3: Are these replacement elements compatible with existing Faudi 60.677 filter housings?

A: Yes, these replacement elements are engineered as drop-in equivalents for Faudi 60.677 series filter vessels. They feature identical dimensions—152mm (6-inch) outside diameter, 89mm (3-inch) inside diameter, and matched length specifications—along with the same end-cap configurations and NBR sealing geometry. No system modifications are required for installation.

Q4: What quality certifications do these separator elements meet?

A: The 60.677 series replacement elements are qualified to EI 1581 6th Edition, Category C standards for aviation fuel filtration. They are manufactured under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certified quality management systems. Each element undergoes rigorous quality control and 100% pre-delivery testing for burst strength, structural integrity, and separation efficiency.
