Parker WC15R10 Cartridge Filter 20 Micron 10 in Acetate Cotton

Product Description

The PARKER WC15R10 is a string-wound plumbing cartridge filter designed for sediment and particulate removal in water treatment and plumbing supply lines. It measures 2.5 inches in outside diameter and 10 inches in length, with a 20 micron filtration rating suited for removing fine suspended solids from potable and process water systems. The filter media is acetate cotton wound over a tinned steel core, which provides structural rigidity throughout the service life of the cartridge. It is rated for use at temperatures up to 250 degrees F, making it compatible with both cold and hot water applications. Plumbers and water treatment technicians install this filter in standard 10-inch filter housings.

This cartridge is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where sediment control is required ahead of fixtures, appliances, or downstream filtration stages. Typical installations include whole-house pre-filters, under-sink housings, and point-of-entry systems. The 20 micron rating targets coarser particulate such as silt, rust, and scale. The acetate cotton construction is suitable for systems handling water up to 250 degrees F, including domestic hot water lines where a pre-filter is specified.
