R Series Pleated Cartridges
Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for R Series Pleated Cartridges. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.
Summary
Product identification
R Series Pleated Polyester Cartridges are designed with a pleated structure to maximize dirt-holding capacity. They are versatile, reusable, and feature a durable polyester media that is resistant to bacteria and chemicals.
- Filter Type: Pleated Polyester Cartridges
- Design: Pleated design maximizes dirt-holding capacity and extends time between changes or cleaning.
- Media: Durable, non-woven, and reusable polyester fabric.
- Construction: Media is pleated around a polypropylene core. Ends are immersed in a thermo-setting vinyl plastisol, fusing the components. Overlap seam is sonically welded to reduce internal bypass.
- Surface Area: Standard 9³/₄" length cartridges have more than four square feet of polyester fabric. Big Blue® versions have more than 16 square feet.
- Applications: Suitable for a variety of residential, commercial, and industrial uses.
Materials of construction
- Filter Media: Non-Woven Polyester
- End Caps: Vinyl Plastisol
- Core: Polypropylene
Operating limits
- Temperature Rating: 40–125ºF (4.4–51.7ºC)
WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Performance data
R Series cartridges are available with nominal 30-micron (R30) and 50-micron (R50) ratings.
