Westwood Products F12-12 Pure-oil Filter Element 10 Micron

Product Description

The WESTWOOD PRODUCTS F12-12 is a pure-oil filter element rated at 10 micron filtration, designed for use in oil heating systems to protect burner components from sediment, particulates, and water contamination. This replacement filter element installs inside a compatible oil filter housing and serves as a critical line of defense for fuel delivery systems. It is biofuels compatible, making it suitable for systems running biodiesel blends in addition to standard fuel oil. Licensed oil burner technicians and HVAC service professionals install this element as part of routine annual maintenance on residential and light commercial oil-fired heating systems.

This filter element is intended for oil-fired heating system applications where maintaining clean fuel delivery is essential to reliable burner operation. It fits a range of standard filter housings and is commonly serviced at the start of each heating season. The 10 micron rating provides effective particulate removal without excessive restriction to fuel flow, supporting consistent firing rates and reducing nozzle clogging on gun-type oil burners.
