Parker FB12-2 Bag Filter Housing 2 Inch Carbon Steel

Product Description

The PARKER FB12-2 is a carbon steel bag filter housing designed for industrial and commercial liquid filtration systems. It accepts a No. 2 bag filter element and features female NPT (FNPT) end connections for straightforward inline installation. With a maximum flow capacity of 160 GPM, this housing is built for high-volume process lines, cooling water systems, and general industrial fluid handling applications. At 95 pounds, the unit is a robust, full-size housing suited for permanent or semi-permanent installations. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This housing is suited for industrial process piping, cooling tower circuits, municipal water pre-filtration, and commercial HVAC hydronic systems where particulate removal is required ahead of sensitive equipment. The 2-inch FNPT end connections allow direct integration into standard threaded pipe systems. Its carbon steel construction makes it appropriate for non-corrosive fluid service at rated operating conditions.

Apply appropriate thread sealant to FNPT connections and verify the housing is oriented correctly for bag element access during service.
