Product Selection Differences for Single Element Housings

When selecting Single Element Housings, there are several key differences to consider:

  1. Material: Single element housings can be made from various materials such as plastic, stainless steel, aluminum, or polypropylene. The material choice will influence the durability, compatibility with different environments, and resistance to corrosion.

  2. Size and Configuration: Consider the size and configuration of the housing to ensure it can accommodate the specific filter element required for your application. Different sizes and configurations are available to match varying filter element dimensions.

  3. Pressure Rating: Ensure that the housing can withstand the operating pressure of your system. Pressure rating varies among single element housings, so choose one that meets or exceeds your system requirements.

  4. Inlet and Outlet Connections: Check the type and size of inlet and outlet connections to ensure compatibility with your existing piping system. Different housings may have different connection options such as NPT, BSP, or flanged connections.

  5. Mounting Options: Consider how the housing will be mounted – wall-mounted, bracket-mounted, or freestanding. Choose a housing with mounting options that align with your installation requirements.

  6. Maintenance and Accessibility: Evaluate how easy it is to change and maintain the filter element within the housing. Look for features such as quick-open closures or swing bolt closures for easy access during maintenance.

  7. Sealing Mechanism: The sealing mechanism of the housing should provide a secure seal to prevent leaks and ensure efficient filtration. O-ring seals or gasket seals are commonly used in single element housings.

  8. Compatibility: Ensure that the single element housing is compatible with the specific filter element you intend to use. Check compatibility in terms of size, material compatibility, and flow rate requirements.

By considering these key differences, you can select a single element housing that meets your filtration needs effectively and efficiently.
