Value Collection WS-PL-0987050 Cartridge Filter 50 Micron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-PL-0987050 is a melt-blown, thermally bonded polypropylene cartridge filter designed for residential and light commercial plumbing filtration systems. Rated at 50 microns, it captures sediment particles from the water supply before they reach downstream fixtures, appliances, or process equipment. The filter measures 2-1/2 inches in outside diameter and 9-7/8 inches in length, fitting standard 10-inch filter housings widely used in point-of-entry and point-of-use installations. Both the core and media are constructed from polypropylene for chemical compatibility with potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the typical installers.

This cartridge filter is suited for residential whole-house sediment pre-filtration, well water systems, and light commercial water treatment applications where sediment loads are a concern. It performs within a maximum working pressure of 60 psi and a maximum flow rate of 2.00 gallons per minute. The maximum working temperature is 176 degrees F, making it appropriate for cold and warm water service lines. Its melt-blown construction provides depth filtration, trapping particles throughout the media rather than only on the surface, which extends service life between changeouts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before opening the filter housing. Inspect the housing O-ring for wear or damage and replace if needed before seating the new cartridge. Do not exceed the rated 60 psi working pressure or 176 degrees F temperature limit during operation.
