General Filters 2606 Spin-on Fuel Oil Filter 10 Gph 10 Micron

Product Description

The GENERAL FILTERS 2606 is an epoxy-coated spin-on fuel oil filter designed for residential oil burner systems operating on single-line or double-line fuel supply configurations. The canister body resists corrosion from fuel contact, and the included BIOGasket seals reliably across biofuel blends from B5 through B100. At a maximum firing rate of 10 gallons per hour and a 10-micron removal rating, the 2606 captures particulates that can foul nozzles and damage fuel pumps. Licensed oil burner technicians install this filter as a primary or replacement inline filter ahead of the burner assembly.

The 2606 is suited for residential heating applications using No. 2 fuel oil or biofuel blends on systems firing up to 10 gph. Its spin-on design makes cartridge replacement straightforward during annual tune-ups. It serves as a Gar-Ger residential replacement cartridge for existing filter housings that accept this canister format. The 500 square inch filtering area provides adequate surface for a full season of service between change intervals under normal operating conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed oil burner technician. Shut off the fuel supply valve and depressurize the line before removing the spent canister. Use an appropriate filter wrench to remove the old spin-on canister and hand-tighten the new unit plus a quarter turn — do not overtighten, as the BIOGasket provides the seal. After installation, restore fuel flow, check all connections for leaks, and purge air from the system before firing the burner.
