Valve In-Head Filter Housings

Summary

Product identification

• Valve-In-Head Filter Housings

Features

• Ideal for a wide range of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial.
• Available in 10" and 20" lengths.
• Pressure-relief/bleed button on the inlet side of the cap.
• Thick walls for increased strength.
• Leak-proof sealing with top-seated Buna-N o-ring.
• Available with clear or opaque sumps.
• Internal valve-in-head allows both inlet and outlet ports to be simultaneously shut-off with a half turn of the handle, eliminating the need for external shut-off valves.
• Radial sealing o-rings and sealing surfaces are continuously cleaned each time the valve is used, ensuring leak-proof operation.
• Accommodates cartridges with 2 3⁄8" to 2 7⁄8" diameter.
• Opaque Valve-In-Head Filter Housings are molded from rugged reinforced polypropylene and offer outstanding chemical compatibility.
• Clear Valve-In-Head Filter Housings are manufactured of clear, FDA-compliant Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN), with annealed sumps to relieve stress, adding clarity and strength.

Certifications

• Models 150164 and 150172 are Tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material and structural integrity requirements.
