Parker 15R10A Cartridge Filter 20 Micron 2.5 in Cotton

Product Description

The PARKER 15R10A is a string-wound cartridge filter designed for plumbing and water filtration applications. It measures 10 inches in length with a 2.5-inch outside diameter and delivers 20-micron filtration through a cotton wound media wrapped over a polypropylene plastic core. The cotton construction meets FDA material grade standards, making it suitable for potable water and food-service-adjacent applications. Licensed plumbers and filtration technicians install this type of cartridge in standard 10-inch filter housings across residential and light commercial systems where sediment reduction is required.

This filter cartridge is used in cold and cool water service lines where sediment, dirt, and particulate matter must be removed ahead of sensitive fixtures, appliances, or downstream filtration stages. The 20-micron rating targets coarse-to-medium sediment loads. It is rated for a maximum working temperature of 120 degrees F, making it appropriate for cold-water and ambient-temperature supply lines. Typical installations include point-of-entry whole-house filter systems, irrigation pre-filters, and light industrial process water lines.
