Value Collection WS-PL-SCB098705 Cartridge Filter 5 Micron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-PL-SCB098705 is a melt-blown, thermally bonded polypropylene cartridge filter designed for residential and light commercial plumbing filtration systems. It measures 2.48 inches outside diameter and 9.87 inches in length, with a 5-micron rating that targets sediment particles in potable and process water lines. The filter media and core are both polypropylene construction, providing compatibility with a wide range of water chemistry conditions. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians install this cartridge in standard whole-house or point-of-entry filter housings as part of routine maintenance or initial system setup.

This cartridge filter is suited for residential whole-house filtration, under-sink pre-filter stages, and light commercial water treatment applications where sediment control is the primary concern. It handles flow rates up to 4.00 GPM and operates at pressures up to 60 psi, making it appropriate for typical municipal supply pressures. The maximum working temperature of 176 degrees F extends its usability to hot-water-side applications where sediment reduction is required upstream of water heaters or process equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water treatment technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure at the filter housing before removing the spent cartridge. Inspect the housing sump, O-ring, and bypass valve for wear before seating the new cartridge. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including applicable IPC provisions, for filter installations on potable water lines.
