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.
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
