Inline Filter Parker 316 Stainless Steel Compact

Description

Product Overview

The Parker inline filter is engineered for demanding industrial applications where contamination control is critical. Constructed with a 316 stainless steel filter element, the unit offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, even in aggressive chemical environments. The fluorocarbon rubber seal further enhances durability, preventing leaks and maintaining filtration integrity across a temperature span of -15°F to 400°F. Measuring just 4.6 x 1.6 x 1.6 inches and weighing 1.2 pounds, the filter’s compact inline fitting allows seamless integration directly onto existing pipelines without requiring additional housings or complex installations.

Usage

Designed for process and instrumentation devices, this filter excels in protecting control systems, pneumatic lines, and other sensitive equipment from particulate and liquid contaminants. It is ideal for manufacturing plants, chemical processing facilities, and any industrial setting where fluid purity directly impacts system reliability. The robust construction makes it suitable for continuous operation in harsh environments, including high‑temperature processes and corrosive media.
