Designed for industries ranging from chemical processing to water treatment, this advanced filtration solution combines cutting-edge design with robust materials to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial systems. Below, we explore the product’s specifications, technical parameters, performance advantages, and its pivotal role in chemical plant water treatment and other critical applications.
Product Overview
The Replacement Parker High-Flow Filter Element is a high-capacity pleated cartridge designed to replace traditional wound or standard 2.5-inch OD filters in high-flow systems. With a flow capacity of up to 175 gpm (662 lpm), this 6-inch (152 mm) diameter cartridge can replace up to 8 standard 2.5-inch OD x 40-inch cartridges, drastically reducing the number of elements required and enabling smaller, more economical housings. Its thermally bonded polypropylene or phenolic resin-bonded cellulose media ensures reliable particle retention, while the built-in handle and O-ring seals simplify installation and maintain filtration integrity.
