Magnetic filters and pipework

Question

Do most magnetic filters work with horizontal and vertical pipework or are they usually designed specifically for either or?

Simon · Answer

Hi. Every filter I’ve fitted is compatible either way.

Samuel · Answer

Yes they will work either way but always better to put it on the return pipe and close to the boiler as possible

Gary · Answer

Hello, most can go on vertical and horizontal pipes. On most of them, it's the orientation of the magnet chamber that's important as most use a vortex type spiral action to draw magnetic and non-magnetic imputities downwards using gravity. ie. On a Fermox Omega, or a Magnaclean, you could put the pipes various ways but the chamber must face up and down. The Omega, you can face it down whether the body is vertical, horizontal or diagonal. The other very important thing to take into account is clearances above and below for removing magnets/lids and getting a hose/bucket/bowl under when cleaning.

Mikael · Answer

Most if not all are adjustable to either or 
The isolation valves rotate to accommodate both vertical and horizontal runs

Mark · Answer

They work with either and are also multi directional too. Best practice is to have filter fitted on return to boiler also

Nick · Answer

All work the same. Some have a magnet orientation but depends on filter

Steve · Answer

It will work on both but needs to be positioned in the correct place on the system. The return  to the boiler is the best as close as possible to the boiler

Robert · Answer

Majority if not all are designed to work on both vertical and horizontal pipe work.

Alan · Answer

Yes, they must be fitted on the return pipe work and be the last fitting before the heat source
