Parker FP736-5 Pleated Cartridge Filter 5 Micron 36 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER FP736-5 is a pleated resin bonded cartridge filter designed for high-volume liquid filtration in plumbing and industrial water treatment systems. Constructed from resin cellulose media, this filter measures 36 inches in length with a 6.25-inch outside diameter, making it suitable for large-capacity filter housings. The pleated design increases surface area compared to wound or spun cartridges, supporting longer service intervals and higher flow rates at the rated 5-micron filtration level. It is installed by licensed plumbers and filtration system technicians in commercial and industrial settings where particulate control is critical.

This cartridge filter is suited for commercial and light industrial plumbing systems requiring fine particulate removal. Typical applications include process water filtration, pre-filtration ahead of membrane or UV treatment systems, and general point-of-entry plumbing filtration where sediment, rust, and debris must be controlled. The 5-micron rating targets fine silts, fine sediment particles, and similar suspended solids. The resin cellulose construction supports use in systems with operating temperatures up to 250 degrees F, broadening its suitability across a range of process and plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified filtration technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure fully before removing the filter housing. Inspect the housing O-ring or gasket and replace if worn before seating the new cartridge. Consult local plumbing codes and the housing manufacturer guidelines for torque and seal specifications.
