Parker 19R20 Cartridge Filter 10 Micron 20in Cotton

Product Description

The PARKER 19R20 is a string-wound cartridge filter designed for plumbing and water filtration systems that require reliable particulate removal at a 10-micron rating. Constructed from FDA-grade cotton wound around a tinned steel core, this filter measures 2.5 inches in outside diameter and 20 inches in length. It handles water temperatures up to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for both cold and hot water supply applications. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians install this filter in standard filter housings as part of whole-house, point-of-entry, or light commercial filtration systems.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where sediment control is required. Common applications include pre-filtration ahead of water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, water heaters, and process water lines. The string-wound cotton construction traps sediment, sand, dirt, rust particles, and other suspended solids at the 10-micron level. Its FDA-grade material rating makes it appropriate for potable water systems where compliance with food-grade material standards is required by code or specification.
