Value Collection WS-PL-0487005 Cartridge Filter 5 Micron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-PL-0487005 is a melt-blown, thermally bonded polypropylene cartridge filter designed for point-of-entry and point-of-use plumbing filtration systems. Rated at 5 microns, it captures fine sediment particles from supply water before they reach downstream fixtures, valves, and equipment. The filter measures 2.5 inches OD and 4.875 inches in length, with a maximum working pressure of 60 psi and a maximum flow rate of 2.00 gallons per minute. Both the filter media and core are constructed from polypropylene, making it compatible with a wide range of potable and non-potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the primary installers.

This cartridge is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing filtration housings where sediment control is required. Typical installations include whole-house pre-filters, under-sink systems, and inline protection for water heaters, irrigation controls, and appliance supply lines. The 5-micron rating targets fine sand, rust, scale, and particulate matter. With a maximum operating temperature of 176 degrees F, it is appropriate for both cold and hot water supply lines within that thermal range. Its compact 4.875-inch length fits standard short-body filter housings commonly found in residential plumbing systems.
