Self-Adjusting Sealing Device Ensures
Positive Filter Cartridge Seal
- Provides positive sealing of non-compressible filters1 such as pleated, carbon, metallic, and membrane cartridges
- Accepts 10.2 cm (4 in), 25.4 cm (10 in), 50.8 cm (20 in), or 76.2 cm (30 in) DOE filter cartridges2
- O-ring head and shell seal minimizes fluid leakage
- In-line inlet and outlet connections for easy installation
- Cast iron and carbon steel, brass and 316 stainless steel, or all 316 stainless steel materials of construction
1The LMO Spring Seal Series housing is not recommended for metallic cartridges. For metallic cartridges use the LMO Vari-Seal housing only.
2When fitting with 4 in (10.2 cm) DOE membrane filters, please order filters under Code 550 to assure proper fit.

Housing Differential Pressure vs. Liquid Flow Rate

Unit Conversion: 1bar = 100 kPa
For liquids other than water, multiply differential pressure by specific gravity
