3M™ 1A1 Series Filter Housing is a two-piece aluminum filter housing with a stainless steel center post. The housing has a maximum operating pressure and temperature 125 psig at 200o F. The compact design housing holds a single 3.75” long filter cartridge. The 1A1 Model Filter Housing can handle flow rates to up to 6 Gallons Per Minute (GPM). Convenience of Design
We manufacture the 3M™ 1A1 Series Filter Housing using an all metal, two-piece construction for lasting durability and service life. We use lightweight, rugged die-cast aluminum head and sump and a stainless steel center post for lasting durability where it counts. When needed, our mounting bracket, sold separately, aligns easily with the pre-drilled holes and includes self-tapping screws that eliminate the need for more drilling and fitting work. To help ensure against bypass, leaks and maintain system pressure, shouldered seal plates fit solidly into the cartridge core for a positive cartridge seal. The stainless steel center post conveniently lifts out for easy cleaning, which helps maintain cleaner systems and maximizes product life.
As process requirements evolve and grow you will appreciate the convenience of the design as you assemble, disassemble, clean and perform periodic maintenance. The housing assembly utilizes 3/8" NPTF horizontal inlet/outlet connections that helps provide flow rates up to 6 GPM, depending on fluid viscosity and cartridge used to accommodate a wide range of applications.
