Parker MBA1M10 Meltblown Filter Cartridge 1 Micron

Product Description

The PARKER MBA1M10 is a thermally bonded meltblown polypropylene filter cartridge rated at 1 micron, designed for liquid filtration applications in commercial and industrial systems. Measuring 10 inches in length with an outside diameter of 2.5 inches, this cartridge fits standard filter housings used in water treatment, process fluid, and point-of-entry filtration systems. The meltblown construction creates a graduated density matrix throughout the polypropylene media, allowing it to capture sediment, particulate, and dirt down to 1 micron. It handles flow rates up to 5.00 GPM and operates at temperatures up to 180 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, water treatment technicians, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers.

This cartridge is suited for residential and light commercial liquid filtration installations where fine sediment removal is required. Common applications include whole-house sediment filters, pre-filters for reverse osmosis systems, process water lines, and cooling tower makeup water systems. The all-polypropylene construction makes it compatible with a wide range of liquids, including potable water and mild chemical solutions. It is sold individually and is intended as a replacement cartridge for standard 10-inch filter housings that accept a 2.5-inch outside diameter cartridge.

Key Features

• 1-micron absolute rating removes fine sediment, particulate, and dirt from liquid streams
• Thermally bonded meltblown construction eliminates adhesives and binders that could leach into filtered media
• All-polypropylene construction — core, media, and outer wrap — supports broad chemical compatibility
• Rated for liquid service up to 180 degrees F and flow rates up to 5.00 GPM
• Standard 10-inch length and 2.5-inch outside diameter fit widely available filter housings

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement filter cartridge for standard 10-inch filter housings that accept a 2.5-inch outside diameter meltblown cartridge in liquid service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or water treatment technician. Shut off the supply water and depressurize the filter housing before removing the spent cartridge. Inspect the housing O-ring for wear and replace it if needed before seating the new cartridge. Follow local plumbing codes, including applicable IPC requirements, when installing or servicing filter assemblies on potable water systems.
