GOLDENROD

Goldenrod fuel filter assemblies are available with maximum flow rates of 12 gpm and 25 gpm, depending on the series. For example, the Series 570 filter has a 12 gpm maximum flow rate, while the 596-5 Series and other models such as 496 and 495 have a 25 gpm maximum flow rate. These ratings indicate the maximum fuel flow the filter can handle while effectively removing water and particulates. When selecting a replacement filter, ensure the flow rate matches or exceeds the system's requirements to avoid restriction. The flow rate is a key specification for maintaining proper fuel delivery in diesel or fuel oil systems.

Goldenrod particulate fuel filters, such as those in the 495 and 595 series, have a 10 micron filter rating. This rating indicates the filter's ability to capture particles down to 10 microns in size, using a silicone-treated paper filter element. This level of filtration helps protect downstream components like fuel injectors and pumps from particulate contamination. The 10 micron rating is common for secondary filtration in diesel and fuel oil systems. For water and particulate removal, Goldenrod also offers filters that combine both functions, though the micron rating may vary. Always refer to the specific product specifications for the exact rating.

Goldenrod fuel filter bodies are constructed from various materials, including steel, zinc, polymer, and combinations such as steel/zinc and polymer/zinc. For example, the 596-5 Series replacement filter has a steel/zinc body, while the 496 and 495 series filters use a polymer/zinc body. The Series 570 filter has a polymer body. These materials are chosen for durability and compatibility with diesel and fuel oil. The filter media is typically silicone-treated paper. When selecting a replacement, ensure the body material and filter media are compatible with the fuel type and operating conditions. The material composition affects the filter's resistance to corrosion and its overall service life.

The Goldenrod 600 Oiler is a pistol-grip oil dispenser with a 6 fl oz overall capacity and a rigid 5-inch spout. The can height is 6 inches. The body is made of steel with a powder-coated copper bronze finish. The spout tips, on both straight and angle spouts, include an oil cup cap lifter for precise application. This dispenser is designed for manual lubrication tasks, allowing controlled delivery of oil to machinery and equipment. The pistol-grip design facilitates one-handed operation. The rigid spout provides reach and accuracy. The 600 Oiler is part of Goldenrod's line of oil dispensers, which are used in maintenance and workshop environments.

The Goldenrod 470 series fuel filter assemblies include replacement filters such as the 495-3/4 (part of the Series 470 line) and the 496-3/4. These are compatible with model 470-3/4 and 470-1, respectively. The 495-3/4 is a particulate filter with a 10 micron rating and a polymer body. The 496-3/4 is a water and particulate filter with a polymer/zinc body and silicone-treated paper element. Both have a maximum flow rate of 25 gpm. When replacing a filter on a 470 series assembly, verify the specific model number to ensure correct fit and function. Using the correct replacement maintains filtration performance and system integrity.

Goldenrod offers both water/particulate and particulate fuel filters. Water/particulate filters, such as those in the 596-5 and 570 series, are designed to remove both water and particulate contaminants from fuel. Particulate filters, such as the 495 and 595 series, focus on removing particulate matter only, with a 10 micron rating. The choice depends on the fuel system's needs: if water contamination is a concern, a water/particulate filter is appropriate; if only particulate removal is required, a particulate filter suffices. Both types use silicone-treated paper media and are available in various body materials. Always check the specific model's specifications for flow rate and compatibility.
