Parker WC23R30S Cartridge Filter 5 Micron 30 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER WC23R30S is a string-wound cartridge filter designed for plumbing and water treatment applications. It measures 2-1/2 inches in outside diameter and 30 inches in length, with a 5-micron filtration rating that captures fine sediment, dirt, sand, and rust particles from potable and process water lines. The filter body is constructed from acetate cotton windings over a stainless steel core, giving it structural integrity under pressure and elevated temperatures. Plumbers and water treatment technicians install this filter in standard housings where high-capacity, depth-filtration performance is required at the 5-micron level.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, whole-house sediment filtration, and process water lines where consistent particulate removal is critical. The 30-inch length makes it appropriate for high-flow, large-sump filter housings. The acetate cotton string-wound construction provides graduated depth filtration, trapping coarser particles in the outer layers and finer particles toward the stainless steel core. It is rated for water service up to 250 degrees F, which also supports use in hot-water and low-pressure steam-adjacent plumbing circuits.

Key Features

• 5-micron rating for fine sediment, rust, and particulate removal
• String-wound acetate cotton construction provides graduated depth filtration
• Stainless steel core resists corrosion and maintains cartridge shape under flow pressure
• 30-inch length fits high-flow large-sump filter housings
• Rated to 250 degrees F for hot-water plumbing applications
• 2-1/2 inch outside diameter for compatibility with standard large-format filter housings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit cartridge for large-sump plumbing filter housings that accept 2-1/2 inch OD, 30-inch string-wound cartridges.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified water treatment technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before opening the filter housing. Inspect the housing o-ring for wear and replace if necessary before seating the new cartridge. Follow IPC guidelines and the housing manufacturer's torque and pressure specifications when reassembling the sump.
