Slim Line Filter Housings

Summary

Product Identification

AquaChain offers Slim Line® Filter Housings, designed for applications where space and chemical compatibility are primary concerns, including under-sink, countertop service, and humidifying systems. These housings feature a slim design that reduces installation space without sacrificing capacity.

Key features:

• Available in 5", 10", and 20" lengths.
• Optional pressure relief button on the inlet side of the cap.
• Leak-proof seal with a top-seated o-ring.
• Available with clear or opaque sumps.
• FDA Grade.

Opaque Slim Line® Filter Housings are molded from rugged reinforced polypropylene. Clear Slim Line® Filter Housings are manufactured from clear Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN), with sumps annealed to relieve stress, enhancing clarity and strength.

Specific models (158005, 158006, 158114, 158115, 158120, 158125, 158126, 158128, 158129, 158131, 158149, 158195, 158196, 158204, and 158205) are Tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material and structural integrity requirements.

Operating Limits

• Maximum Temperature: 125ºF (51.7ºC)
• Maximum Pressure: 125 psi (8.62 bar)

CAUTION: Protect against freezing to prevent cracking of the filter and water leakage.

Mechanical / Hydraulic

Materials of Construction:

• Housing: SAN (Clear) or Polypropylene (Opaque)
• Cap: Reinforced Polypropylene
• Button Assembly: 300-series Stainless Steel, EPDM, and Polypropylene
