Strap Band Housings

Summary

Product identification

PENTEK Strap Band Cartridge Housings are designed for commercial and industrial applications requiring high flow, temperature, and pressure. These housings accommodate multiple double open ended (DOE) sediment and carbon cartridges.

Operating limits

• Maximum Temperature: 300°F (149 °C)
• Maximum Pressure:
  • PC4, PC7, PC9, PC11, PC12, PC14 models: 150 psi (10.34 bar)
  • PC15, PC17 models: 125 psi (8.62 bar)
• Pressure Warning: If pressure exceeds 150 psi (10.34 bar) at any time, a pressure regulator must be used.

Feed water

• Do not use water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
• Not recommended for applications with:
  • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) or chlorides >1000 ppm
  • pH <5.0
  • Use in these conditions may void the limited warranty.

Mechanical / hydraulic
