Parker WC15R30S Cartridge Filter 20 Micron 2.5 in Od 30 in

Product Description

The PARKER WC15R30S is a string-wound plumbing cartridge filter rated at 20 microns, designed for inline water filtration in commercial and residential plumbing systems. Measuring 2.5 inches in outside diameter and 30 inches in length, it fits standard filter housings sized for this cartridge footprint. The filter media is acetate cotton wound over a stainless steel core, providing both structural integrity and resistance to elevated temperatures up to 250 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians install this cartridge as a sediment barrier to protect downstream equipment such as water heaters, softeners, and process equipment from particulate contamination.

This cartridge is suited for applications requiring removal of sediment, rust particles, sand, and other suspended solids at a 20-micron threshold. The string-wound construction creates a graduated density from the outer surface to the core, trapping larger particles at the exterior and finer particles closer to the center. This makes it an effective choice for municipal water supply lines, light industrial process water, and irrigation pre-filtration where consistent particulate control is required across a full-length 30-inch filter housing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water treatment technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure fully before opening the filter housing to replace or inspect the cartridge. Inspect the housing O-ring for wear or deformation at each cartridge change and replace as needed to prevent bypass leaks. Do not exceed the published temperature or pressure ratings of the housing in which this cartridge is installed.
