Parker MBA30M30 Meltblown Filter Cartridge 30 Micron

Product Description

The PARKER MBA30M30 is a thermally bonded meltblown polypropylene filter cartridge rated at 30 microns. It is designed to remove sediment, particulate, and dirt from liquid systems in residential, commercial, and industrial filtration applications. The cartridge measures 30 inches in length with a 2.5-inch outside diameter and handles flow rates up to 15 GPM. The meltblown construction produces a graded-density fiber matrix that captures particles throughout the full depth of the media, extending service life compared to surface-only filtration. Licensed plumbers, water treatment technicians, and industrial maintenance personnel are the typical installers.

The MBA30M30 is suited for use in standard 30-inch filter housings handling liquid service. Typical applications include point-of-entry water filtration, industrial process water pretreatment, HVAC make-up water systems, and irrigation line protection. The 30-micron rating targets coarse sediment and particulate loads. The all-polypropylene construction makes it compatible with a wide range of water-based liquids and suitable for systems operating at elevated temperatures up to 180 degrees F. This cartridge is sold individually and is intended as a direct replacement in housings designed for 30-inch cartridges with a 2.5-inch OD.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before opening the filter housing. Standard cartridge filter housings require a housing wrench for removal and reinstallation of the sump. Verify the housing O-ring is seated and lubricated before closing. Follow applicable plumbing codes and the housing manufacturer guidelines for maximum pressure and temperature ratings.
