Parker FP718-10 Pleated Cartridge Filter 10 Micron 18 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER FP718-10 is a pleated resin-bonded cellulose cartridge filter designed for use in commercial and industrial liquid filtration systems. At 18 inches long with a 6.25-inch outside diameter and a 10-micron rating, this filter removes sediment, particulate, and suspended solids from water and compatible fluid streams. The pleated construction increases surface area compared to wound cartridges, supporting longer service intervals between changeouts. It is rated for fluid temperatures up to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for hot-water and process-fluid applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this cartridge in standard filter housings sized for large-format elements.

This filter is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing systems where high-flow, high-capacity sediment removal is required. Common applications include pre-filtration for water treatment equipment, process water lines, boiler feed systems, and commercial kitchen water supply. The 10-micron rating targets fine sediment, rust, scale, and other particulate without prematurely restricting flow in high-demand systems. It fits large-diameter filter housings and is typically installed at main supply entry points or upstream of sensitive equipment to extend the service life of downstream components.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or pipefitter should install or replace this cartridge in accordance with local plumbing codes and the housing manufacturer's instructions. Shut off the upstream supply valve and relieve system pressure before opening the filter housing. Inspect the housing O-ring or gasket at each cartridge changeout and replace it if it shows any cracking or deformation. Do not exceed the rated temperature or pressure limits of the housing assembly.
