Metcal FG-BVX200 Deep Bed Gas Filter for BVX-200 Fume Extraction System
Metcal FG-BVX200 — Deep Bed Gas Filter for BVX-200 Fume Extraction Systems
The Metcal FG-BVX200 is a deep bed activated carbon gas filter designed for use with the Metcal BVX-200 series fume extraction systems. It provides high-capacity gas-phase filtration for applications involving solvents, conformal coatings, or other chemical fume sources where standard HEPA filtration alone is insufficient. The gas filter can be replaced independently from the main HEPA filter to maximize working life and reduce total cost of ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FG-BVX200 used for?
The FG-BVX200 deep bed gas filter is designed for applications requiring high-capacity gas-phase filtration, such as cleaning with solvents, conformal coating processes, or any process generating chemical vapors beyond standard solder fumes.
Can I replace the FG-BVX200 independently from the main filter?
Yes — the gas filter and main HEPA filter on BVX-200 systems are independently replaceable, allowing you to maximize each filter's working life and lower total cost of ownership.
Is the FG-BVX200 compatible with leaded solder processes?
Yes — the FG-BVX200 is compatible with both leaded and lead-free soldering processes, and is peak reflow compatible up to 260°C.
How do I replace the FG-BVX200 filter?
Filter replacement requires no tools — simply pull the old filter from the unit and install the new one. The BVX-200 system is then ready for immediate use.
