Parker WC19R20A String-wound Cartridge Filter 10 Micron

Product Description

The PARKER WC19R20A is a string-wound cartridge filter designed for plumbing and water filtration applications. It measures 2.5 inches in outside diameter and 20 inches in length, with a 10-micron rating that captures sediment, dirt, and particulate matter from water supplies. The filter body is constructed from acetate cotton with a polypropylene plastic core, providing structural integrity under normal service conditions. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians install this type of filter in standard filter housings as part of point-of-entry or point-of-use water treatment systems. The maximum working temperature is 120 degrees F.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where sediment reduction is required. Typical installations include whole-house prefiltration, irrigation system protection, boiler feed lines, and general water treatment setups. The string-wound construction provides graduated filtration depth, trapping larger particles at the outer layers and finer particles closer to the core. This configuration extends service life compared to surface-only filter media in high-sediment water conditions.
