Parker DBC1M20 Cartridge Filter 1 Micron 20 Inches Polyolefin

Product Description

The PARKER DBC1M20 is a thermal bonded polyolefin cartridge filter designed for plumbing and water filtration applications. Rated at 1 micron, it removes fine particulate contamination from water lines, protecting downstream equipment and maintaining flow quality. The cartridge measures 2.5 inches in outside diameter and 20 inches in length, fitting standard filter housings used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The polyolefin construction carries an FDA material grade rating, making it suitable for potable water and food-service-adjacent applications. Maximum working temperature is 175 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the primary installers.

This filter is applied in plumbing systems where fine sediment, rust particles, and other sub-micron suspended solids must be removed before water reaches fixtures, appliances, or process equipment. The 1 micron rating makes it appropriate for applications requiring tight filtration downstream of coarser pre-filters. Its thermal bonded construction resists fiber migration, which is important in systems where downstream contamination from the filter medium itself is a concern. Typical installations include whole-house filtration assemblies, point-of-entry systems, and commercial water treatment setups.
