OIL ENTRAPMENT SYSTEMS: Jump to price list    

Quite possibly, the most efficient PCV line oil
entrapment equipment in the world! (see our white paper regarding PCV valve explanation and descriptions of various types of catch cans, here)

 We have now have two types of filter enclosures.....

We start with a Watts F504-02DHX67 zinc-bodied particulate oil filter. It can withstand
200 degrees F.  temperatures - far more than the polycarbonate (clear) version's 125 degrees F
 rating.  On the outside, it looks like any other catch can, but what makes this one much more
effective  at trapping oil, lies inside:

This is a 20 micron filter element with liquid dispersion disc. Designed to separate high-content liquid oil
and to swirl airborn oil against the aluminum or glass body to promote coalescence, this type of element and dispersion technology is both inexpensive and more effective than mesh-type filters. In addition, you'll never find small strands of loose
steel fibers in your intake manifold.

  This incredible filter element is sealed against the inside of the upper housing using this
cleverly designed acetal retainer and separate dispersion disc:

For those whose engine bays are lacking of space, our extended aluminum body, at only 1.5 inches in diameter, is very compact. This housing (shown below) is machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum.

 Take a look at the precision machining that goes into making each
Watts particulate filter upper housing to which the extended length housing is assembled:

 Of course, some people prefer to pop open the hood to quickly see how much oil/water has accumulated in their catch can. Up until now, the only catch cans on the market with any kind of sight tube are mostly simple aluminum cans with little, if any oil "trapping" ability. To accommodate this need for "clarity", we designed our own aluminum top piece (uses the same Watts line of filter elements) so that it would allow easy assembly of a thick (.12-inch) glass body to it. A custom rubber gasket that is impervious to any type of oil was also designed to be adhered to the bottom of this top piece. The glass body and aluminum top piece each have an outside diameter of 2 inches, so capacity of oil/water entrapment is slightly higher than that of the extended length aluminum housing. A 200 degree black vinyl cap (1-inch tall) and a stainless steel safety bracket are included with every glass body kit.

                         

   The "VAC-P" port is used to connect the vacuum line for "particulate" element usage. Note: Since the glass housing
is typically exposed to vacuum pressure, it is not necessary to apply a large amount of torque to the housing after its upper lip contacts the rubber gasket. To ensure long life, only 1-5 degrees of rotation is necessary after contact is made with the gasket.

Both the aluminum kit and the OEM Watts assembly come with a zinc-plated steel mounting bracket:

...to which we add brass thumbscrews after tapping the two holes in the top of the upper housing.
You can flip the bracket for more compact mounting conditions.
 

We then add a couple of solid brass 90 degree 3/8 or 1/2-inch hose fittings...

 and you've got a kit that represents an extremely good value.

A nice thing about the aluminum body kit is that you have a choice of oil-containing housings, one that has a brass
bleed valve and one that has three times the capacity. Add some fuel-line hose and a good place to mount
your coalescing filter, and you're doing a great job of keeping that carbon-inducing oil from coating
the inside of your engine's intake. Please note that Conceptual Polymer cannot test each kit with each type of engine configuration ; therefore, we cannot guarantee the effectiveness of our kits.

Each aluminum body "Kit" consists of the following:

♦ Watts F504-02DHK67 particulate filter element with acetal retainer, liquid dispersion disc,
   mounting bracket, and zinc containment can
♦ (2) 6-32 x 1/4 brass thumb screws
♦ Machined from billet extended length aluminum housing
♦ (2) Teflon-taped solid brass hose fittings, 1/4 MNPT (either 3/8 or 1/2 inch hose barb)

Each Glass body "Kit" consists of the following:

♦ Watts F504-02DHK67 particulate filter element with Acetal retainer and liquid dispersion disc
♦ Precision-machined aluminum top piece
♦ Custom-designed rubber gasket (highly resistant to any type of oil)
♦ 1/8-inch thick glass body (impervious to almost any chemical)
♦ Stainless steel mounting bracket and stainless steel safety bracket
♦ (2) Teflon-taped solid brass hose fittings, 1/4 or 3/8 MNPT (either 3/8 or 1/2 inch hose barb)
♦ Black Vinyl cap (rated to 200 degrees F) to dampen vibration (if necessary).

Dimensions: Aluminum kit  (approximate): 6 inches tall x 1.5 inches diameter (3.25 inches wide with fittings)
                         Glass body kit: See link underneath cost chart.
Warning: Do not internally pressurize the extended length aluminum housing to more than 60 psi. Do not allow water within the housing to freeze if level is above the filter element. Glass body kit is for automotive (vacuum pressure) applications, only. Do NOT use with compressed air systems! Doing so may result in severe injury or death. If your PCV line
system may experience positive pressure install a check valve to prevent the glass housing from being
internally pressurized.
