Parker MBA30M10 Meltblown Filter Cartridge 30 Micron

Product Description

The PARKER MBA30M10 is a thermally bonded meltblown polypropylene filter cartridge rated at 30 microns, designed for sediment and particulate removal in liquid filtration systems. At 10 inches in length and 2.5 inches in outside diameter, it fits standard cartridge filter housings used across HVAC, plumbing, and process water applications. The all-polypropylene construction — including core, media, and outer structure — makes it compatible with a wide range of liquids and resistant to temperatures up to 180 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the primary installers. Maximum flow rate is 5.00 gallons per minute.

This cartridge is suited for residential and light commercial applications where sediment, particulate, and dirt must be removed from liquid supply lines. Common install scenarios include point-of-entry water filtration, pre-filtration ahead of softeners or RO systems, and inline protection for HVAC chilled-water or process-cooling loops. The meltblown construction provides depth filtration, trapping particles throughout the media rather than only at the surface, which extends service life in moderate-sediment environments.

Key Features

• 30-micron rating targets sediment, particulate, and dirt in liquid systems
• Thermally bonded meltblown construction — no adhesives or binders that could leach into the fluid stream
• Full polypropylene build: media, core, and outer wrap all polypropylene for broad chemical compatibility
• Rated to 180 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• Maximum flow rate of 5.00 gallons per minute
• Standard 10-inch length fits widely available cartridge filter housings

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before opening the filter housing. Inspect the housing O-ring for wear and replace if needed before seating the new cartridge. Plumbers and water treatment technicians should follow applicable IPC guidelines for potable water filtration installations. Do not exceed the rated maximum flow rate or operating temperature for this cartridge.
