Value Collection WS-PL-BVB200005 Cartridge Filter 5 Micron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-PL-BVB200005 is a melt blown, thermally bonded polypropylene cartridge filter designed for residential and light commercial plumbing filtration systems. At 5 microns, it captures fine sediment particulates that would otherwise pass through coarser filtration media. The cartridge measures 20 inches in length with a 4.3300-inch outside diameter, making it a standard 20-inch big-blue format. The polypropylene construction — both media and core — resists moisture degradation and is compatible with cold and warm water lines up to 140 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the typical installers for this style of cartridge.

This filter is suited for whole-house sediment pre-filtration, point-of-entry water treatment systems, and commercial water conditioning applications where sediment loading is the primary concern. The melt blown construction produces a graded density media that traps particles throughout the depth of the cartridge rather than just at the surface, which extends service life between replacements. Maximum rated flow is 20 gallons per minute (GPM), making it appropriate for residential main lines and light commercial supply lines.

Key Features

• 5-micron rating for fine sediment removal including silt, rust, and dirt particles
• Melt blown, thermally bonded polypropylene media for depth filtration and extended cartridge life
• Polypropylene plastic core provides structural rigidity under flow pressure
• Rated to 140 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• Maximum flow rate of 20 GPM suits residential and light commercial supply lines
• Standard 20-inch length and 4.3300-inch OD fit common big-blue filter housings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cartridge for standard 20-inch big-blue plumbing filter housings used in residential and light commercial sediment filtration applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before opening the filter housing to replace the cartridge. Inspect housing O-rings for wear or deformation during each cartridge change and replace as needed to prevent leaks. Do not exceed the rated maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F or the rated flow of 20 GPM.
