Parker DBC100M20 Cartridge Filter 100 Micron 20 in Polyolefin

Product Description

The PARKER DBC100M20 is a thermal-bonded polyolefin cartridge filter designed for plumbing filtration applications. It measures 2.5 inches in outside diameter and 20 inches in length, with a 100-micron filtration rating suited for removing sediment and larger particulates from water lines. The polyolefin construction meets FDA material grade standards, making it appropriate for potable water and food-service-adjacent systems. It is rated for a maximum working temperature of 175 degrees F. Plumbers and water treatment technicians install this filter as part of a standard housing-based filtration system in residential and light commercial settings.

This cartridge is used in inline plumbing filtration assemblies where a standard 2.5-inch OD by 20-inch filter housing is installed. Typical applications include whole-house sediment pre-filtration, commercial water conditioning pre-treatment, and point-of-entry systems where gross sediment removal is the primary goal. The 100-micron rating makes it appropriate as a first-stage filter upstream of finer-rated elements. FDA-grade polyolefin construction broadens its suitability for systems handling water intended for consumption or food preparation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water treatment technician. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the filter housing before removing the spent cartridge. Follow the housing manufacturer's torque guidelines when reassembling the sump to avoid thread damage or leaks. Verify that the system operating temperature and pressure do not exceed the filter cartridge's rated maximums before returning the system to service.
