Nibco h-70706 Magnetic Boiler Filter Body 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The NIBCO h-70706 is a 1-1/2 inch XL magnetic boiler filter body designed for closed-loop hydronic heating systems. Sold as the filter body only, it includes G-union connections for straightforward inline installation. The magnetic filtration element captures ferrous debris and magnetite sludge that accumulate in hydronic circuits, protecting pumps, valves, and heat exchangers from abrasive particulate damage. Licensed HVAC and plumbing technicians install this component during new boiler commissioning or as part of a system flush and clean-up on existing hydronic installations.

This filter body is suited for residential and light commercial hydronic heating applications where magnetite and ferrous debris control is required. The 1-1/2 inch connection size accommodates larger-diameter primary or secondary loop piping commonly found in multi-zone systems and higher-output boiler installations. The included G-unions allow the filter body to be isolated and removed from the circuit for periodic magnet cleaning without draining the entire system.

Key Features

• Magnetic filtration captures ferrous particles and magnetite sludge from hydronic circuits
• 1-1/2 inch XL body accommodates larger-diameter hydronic loop piping
• G-union connections included for tool-accessible inline installation and removal
• Filter body only configuration allows pairing with a compatible magnetic insert or cartridge
• Designed for closed-loop hydronic heating system installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline magnetic filter body for 1-1/2 inch closed-loop hydronic heating systems requiring ferrous debris protection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician familiar with hydronic heating systems. Isolate and depressurize the system loop before installing or servicing the filter body. G-union connections must be tightened to manufacturer specifications using appropriate wrenches to ensure leak-free joints. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC guidelines when integrating this component into a boiler circuit.
