Aqua 5" Polypropylene / Polycarbonate Filter

A quality Particulate filter, suitable for a wide range of liquids, subject to chemical compatibility with its component parts..

This filter has a clear Polycarbonate bowl so that the condition of the filter can be easily monitored, however it is worth noting that the clear bowl will succumb to the agressive nature of Biodiesel, leading to splitting / cracking, and so unless transparency is of great importance, we always recommend for Biodiesel applications, a White Polypropylene Bowled Filter, which can be found HERE

The filter and element are commonly described as 5", though it is around 7" total length and accepts a 5" long element

SEAL MATERIAL - This filter is supplied as standard with a NITRILE (Also known as BUNA-N or NBR) Top seal, this is the same material supplied with all other manufacturers filters of this type as they are designed for Water. If you intend to use the filter with Vegetable Oil or Bio Diesel, the Nitrile seal will swell and then become useless, it is therefore essential that a spare seal in VITON is purchased to replace the original seal. Viton seals are available in the product options below

ELEMENT NOT INCLUDED - This Filter Housing accepts 5" Filter Elements, these are available HERE

Optional Fitting Bracket Pictured Below;

When replacing elements in filter housings with screw-on bowls we always recommend the use of Silicon O Ring Grease to aid tightening of the bowl, preventing pinching & scuffing and thus prolonging the life of the O Ring
