Parker MBA50M10 Meltblown Filter Cartridge 50 Micron

Product Description

The PARKER MBA50M10 is a thermally bonded meltblown polypropylene filter cartridge rated at 50 microns. It measures 10 inches in length with an outside diameter of 2.5 inches and weighs 0.56 pounds. Designed for liquid filtration applications, it removes sediment, particulate, and dirt from water and process fluid lines. The all-polypropylene construction — including the core, media, and outer shell — makes it compatible with a wide range of liquids and resistant to moisture-related degradation. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and water treatment contractors install this cartridge in standard filter housings as part of prefiltration and point-of-entry water treatment systems.

This cartridge is suited for residential and light commercial water filtration setups where sediment and particulate control is required upstream of sensitive equipment such as water heaters, boilers, ice makers, or reverse osmosis systems. It handles flow rates up to 5.00 GPM and tolerates working temperatures up to 180 degrees F, making it appropriate for both cold and moderately hot liquid service. The meltblown construction provides graduated density filtration, capturing larger particles at the outer layers and finer particles near the core.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified water treatment technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before opening the filter housing. Inspect the housing o-ring for wear or cracking and replace it if necessary before seating the new cartridge. Follow local plumbing codes and the housing manufacturer guidelines for torque and reassembly procedures.
