WPX BB

Summary

Product identification

The Pentek® WPX-BB Series comprises polypropylene string-wound cartridges designed for sediment reduction in various applications. These cartridges are made from a fibrillated polypropylene cord wound around a rigid polypropylene core.

Features/Benefits:

• String-wound design reduces fine sediment from a variety of fluids.
• Bacteria and chemical resistant.
• Economically priced.
• Filter Media: Fibrillated polypropylene fiber cord.

Available Configurations:

• Micron Ratings (Nominal): 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 micron
• Lengths: 10", 20"
• Diameters: 4.5"

Operating limits

• Temperature Rating: 40-165°F (4.4-73.9°C)
• Flow Rates: Capable of accommodating between 10 and 65 GPM with minimal pressure drop.

Feed water

WPX-BB Series Cartridges are suitable for a wide range of sediment applications, including municipal and well water. They are bacteria and chemical resistant, allowing use with many industrial fluids. These cartridges are recommended when foaming is an application issue.

WARNING: Do not use where water is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Mechanical / hydraulic

The cartridges are available in 10" and 20" lengths and 4.5" diameters.
