General Filters 2017 Wool Felt Replacement Cartridge 25 Gph 10 Micron with Biogasket for 2A-710BG

Product Description

The General Filters 2017 is a wool felt replacement cartridge designed for use with the 2A-710BG oil filter assembly. This cartridge is a direct replacement for technicians and service professionals working on residential and light commercial oil-fired heating systems. It fits filter model 1A-25B and delivers reliable fuel filtration at a firing rate of 25 gallons per hour at 10 microns. The 10-micron rating means the cartridge captures fine particulates, water, and contaminants before they can reach the burner nozzle, protecting downstream components and promoting clean, efficient combustion. Wool felt media has long been a trusted material in fuel oil filtration because it provides consistent flow while capturing debris that can cause nozzle clogging and burner lockout. One of the standout features of the 2017 cartridge is its compatibility with bio-fuel blends through B100, making it suitable for heating systems running on biodiesel or any blend up to 100 percent biodiesel. As more homeowners and facilities transition to greener fuel sources, having a cartridge rated for B100 compatibility ensures the filtration system can keep up without degradation of the filter media. The center core of this cartridge is bonded to prevent media migration, which is a critical design detail. Media migration occurs when filter material breaks down and small fibers or particles travel downstream into the fuel system, potentially damaging the pump, strainer, or nozzle. The bonded core eliminates this risk and extends the service life of the overall system. This cartridge also incorporates a BIOGasket, which provides a reliable seal within the filter housing and is compatible with bio-fuel blends. HVAC technicians, oil burner service technicians, and heating system installers will find the General Filters 2017 to be a straightforward, code-compliant replacement part for annual or as-needed filter maintenance on oil-fired furnaces, boilers, and water heaters.

• Compatible with bio-fuel blends through B100, including biodiesel and standard No. 2 fuel oil
