Regular Series

This series is the most commonly used due to it's compact size yet large filter area. Some of the applications for this series include dental supply, commercial and industrial pumps, agricultural and marine. The standard port is NPT. This series is also available with BSP (Higher minimums apply). We now offer a catch basin bowl in this series. The bowl is made of clear nylon with a threaded 1/2" NPT port.
