Pricing
Request a quote for current pricing, lead time and delivery to your airport.The VF-609 is a versatile bolted-cover filter housing for several high-performance Aquacon cartridges, used on helicopter refuelling and dispensing pumps for jet fuel and avgas. Aquacon cartridges chemically lock water into super-absorbent media (capacity up to 1½ quarts) and give positive flow shut-off as they saturate; a relief means is required to keep inlet pressure below 75 psi (5 bar) to protect the cartridge from collapse.
