Typical applications include:

  • Undersink residential osmosis systems
  • Recreational vehicles

Mechanical / hydraulic

  • Housing Size: 10-inch housings are available.
  • Sump Options: Clear or opaque sumps.
    • Clear housings are manufactured from Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) and are stress relieved for added strength and clarity, allowing on-site examination.
    • Opaque housings are molded from reinforced polypropylene and offer outstanding chemical compatibility.
  • Cap Material: Reinforced polypropylene, available in black, blue, and white.
  • Connection Types:
    • Standard NPT threaded connections
    • John Guest connections
    • Available in 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, and 1/2-inch sizes.
  • Cap Styles:
    • Mounting boss cap (for mounting to a single or multiple housing bracket)
    • Integral bracket cap (bracket is part of the cap, no separate bracket required)
    • Meter mount cap (for differential pressure gauges to indicate cartridge dirtiness)
    • Optional pressure relief bleed valve (button placed on the inlet side to reduce housing pressure during cartridge changes).
  • Threads: Buttress threads for additional strength and easier cartridge changes.
  • Sealing: Leak-proof sealing with a top-seated floating Buna-N o-ring.
  • Cartridge Compatibility: Accepts proprietary Seal-Safe™ double o-ring sealing cartridges as well as DOE (double open end) cartridges.

Materials of Construction:

  • Housing: Polypropylene (Opaque) or Styrene Acrylonitrile (Clear)
  • Cap: Reinforced Polypropylene
  • Button Assembly: 300-series Stainless Steel, EPDM, and Polypropylene
  • O-Ring: Buna-N

Certifications

  • Filter Housings are Tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material and structural integrity requirements.
  • Gauges are not performance tested or certified by NSF.
