Parker MBA100M40 Meltblown Filter Cartridge 100 Micron

Product Description

The PARKER MBA100M40 is a thermally bonded meltblown polypropylene filter cartridge rated at 100 microns. Measuring 40 inches in length with a 2.5-inch outside diameter, it is designed for liquid filtration applications where sediment, particulate, and dirt removal are required. The cartridge is constructed entirely from polypropylene, including the core and media, making it chemically compatible with a wide range of liquid process streams. It handles flow rates up to 20 GPM and withstands operating temperatures up to 180 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, industrial maintenance technicians, and water treatment professionals are the typical installers of this cartridge type.

This cartridge is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial liquid filtration systems that accept standard 40-inch filter housings with a 2.5-inch outside diameter. It targets sediment, particulate, and dirt in water and compatible process liquids. The 100-micron rating makes it appropriate as a pre-filter stage upstream of finer filtration elements, helping extend the service life of downstream cartridges and equipment. Applications include process water lines, irrigation pre-filtration, and general liquid supply protection where coarse particulate removal is the primary need.

Key Features

• 100-micron meltblown polypropylene media for coarse sediment and particulate removal
• 40-inch length with 2.5-inch outside diameter fits standard large-format filter housings
• All-polypropylene construction — media, core, and body — for broad chemical compatibility
• Maximum flow rate of 20 GPM supports high-demand liquid filtration systems
• Rated to 180 degrees F maximum operating temperature for hot liquid process lines
• Thermally bonded construction eliminates adhesives that could contaminate the fluid stream

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style meltblown filter cartridge for standard liquid filter housings accepting 40-inch cartridges with a 2.5-inch outside diameter. Suitable for use with water and other compatible liquids as specified by the housing manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Shut off supply pressure and depressurize the filter housing fully before removing the spent cartridge. Inspect the housing o-ring and replace it if cracked or deformed before reinstalling the housing sump. Hand-tighten the housing sump only — do not use pipe wrenches or excessive force on plastic housings. Verify that the operating temperature and pressure of the system do not exceed the cartridge and housing ratings before returning the system to service.
