Parker MBN5M10 Cartridge Filter 5 Micron 10 Inch Polypropylene

Product Description

The PARKER MBN5M10 is a melt-blown, thermally bonded polypropylene cartridge filter designed for residential and light commercial plumbing filtration systems. Rated at 5 microns, it captures fine rust particles and sediment before they reach downstream fixtures, appliances, or water treatment equipment. The cartridge measures 2.5 inches in outside diameter and 10 inches in length, fitting standard filter housings used throughout the industry. At 0.3 pounds, it is lightweight and straightforward to handle during a changeout. Plumbers and water treatment technicians install this filter as part of whole-house or point-of-entry sediment reduction systems.

This cartridge is suited for potable water and plumbing applications where rust and sediment control is required. It fits into common 10-inch standard filter housings found in residential whole-house systems, under-sink pre-filter setups, and light commercial service lines. The melt-blown construction provides depth filtration, meaning particles are captured throughout the media rather than just at the surface, extending service life between changeouts. Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or water treatment professional during routine maintenance or system commissioning.
