UPR Catch Can Picture on UPR web site. Right or wrong?

[2019RamInSC]

The picture shows the fitting facing front of vehicle as being hooked up to the PCV valve. The fitting facing rear of vehicle hooked up to the intake.

To me that is ass backwards. If you blow into the front connector the air comes out the bottom from the filter. I don't want to filter the stuff coming from the PCV valve. I want to filter the air going to the intake.

Or am I ass backwards.................

Set me straight. Thanks

No, I tried to find the email from Nick at GotExhaust from whom I purchased my UPR CC but you are correct. The picture is bassackwards. I have mine as you describe - the way it should be. I seem to recall he said it will work either way but don't want to put words in his mouth...Nick is a great resource and will set us all straight. ;-)

They should use my pic!

I think they're a dual chamber can,so it wouldn't matter which way the hoses were run.It'd operate the same way on either side of the can.

I had called upr when i installed mine to make sure and they said lines crossed. I can't remember what side the little filter is on but it can be swapped to other side if its hooked up not crossed.

 

[Nick@GotExhaust]

You need to cross the lines exactly like in the 1st picture. This is due to the design of the CC as it is a 2 chamber catch can with a patented internal diffuser system that forces the oil to be released into the catch can from a lower chamber then the fresh air can exit through the upper chamber.

This is the correct way!

 

[Lyle Longboat]

I took my can apart and through the “in” hose into the side that has the baffle.

 

[NJMOPAR]

Mine seems to work even if it's not the 'correct' way, so I'm happy.

Gotta say i like my Moroso cans ,they're a dual chamber can that can be run either way.Take one apart Nick and lets see a pic of the top side of the can from the bottom,so we can see the chambers inside one please and thanks..

That is what I was thinking.

Hmmmm

Appreciate the response.

Not tying to be argumentative ..........Buttttt

The way you describe it the flow of "junk" from the PVC valve will be fed thru the top of the filter ( 2 chamber patented internal diffuser notwithstanding ). Then it will drain and settle on the bottom. Why would I want to filter the junk? When it will end up on the bottom?

I would prefer to filter the air sent on the way to the intake.

Is it possible that the top has the inlets swapped on some units?

In agree that they will function either way. Just not as well if my theory is correct.

But then I have been wrong once this year already...........

Since there is so many options on these kits we ship these direct from UPR to our customers normally but I have 2 of them installed so when I get a chance I will take one apart and get some pics. I ran a Moroso on my 1st gen Raptor, it was a good unit but we are seeing better results out of the UPR kits.

Appreciate the response.

I am no engineer that is why I leave it to the manufacturer's lol. UPR is one of the leaders in catch can tech. I am sure they have their reason for doing it this way. If you would like a better explanation I will reach out to our rep there and get a comprehensive explanation. UPR is top notch, everything they make whether it be a CC or a suspension component you can be rest assured it is among the best out there. That is why I have UPR CCs on 2 of my personal vehicles and this winter I will be buying a whole bunch of UPR suspension components to put on my car.

Not sure what that picture is?
But it is not the UPR can I have.

Just read the write-up on the UPR website and I believe this should answer the installation direction questions:

UPR's Catch Can Diffuser offers multiple benefits: First, by vertically spacing the inlet screen to a position lower than outlet screen, oil which collects on the inlet screen is inhibited from migration to outlet screen. Thus, the amount of oil entering the exhaust side or outlet is substantially reduced or eliminated. Secondly, it makes it possible to adjust which side of the catch can is the inlet or outlet by simply installing the UPR diffuser in either chamber of your UPR catch can.

So, the diffuser position in your catch can will dictate the inlet/outlet position and you can switch it around based on your hose routing.

That right there is A+ info!!

Mine is a Billet Tech which is similar to UPR and I routed my hoses like in this video (crossed)
