• Large capacity housing suitable for high flow applications
• 10" and 20" lengths available in opaque and clear
• Pressure relief/bleed on inlet side of cap
• Accepts 4 1⁄2" diameter cartridges
Big Blue® Filter Housings offer the versatility to meet all of your large-capacity filtration needs,
including high-flow and heavy-sediment applications. The extra large housing allows for greater cartridge capacity, reducing the number of vessels required for high flow-rate applications. Sumps are constructed of durable reinforced polypropylene and are available in both 10" and 20" lengths.
The high-flow polypropylene (HFPP) cap is available with 3/4", 1" or 1½" NPT inlet and outlet ports.
The 1¼" internal port allows a greater volume of liquid to pass through the HFPP cap more rapidly.
Big Blue® housings are compatible with a broad range of chemicalsand are available with or without a pressure relief button. They accept a wide variety of 4½" diameter cartridges.
Big Clear Filter Housings offer on-site examination of flow, performance, and cartridge life and are ideal for a variety of applications. The blue polypropylene caps are available with an optional pressure-relief button on the inlet side to relieve pressure inside the housing when changing filter cartridges.

VALVE-IN-HEAD FILTER HOUSINGS
• Ideal for a wide range of applications, including residential, commercial and industrial
• Available in 10" and 20" sizes
• Optional pressure-relief/bleed button on inlet side of cap
• Thick walls for increased strength
• Leak-proof sealing with top-seated Buna-N o-ring
• Available with clear and blue sumps
Valve-in-head (VIH) housings incorporate the same rugged design and application features as our Standard 3/4" NPT housings.
The internal valve-in-head allows both inlet and outlet ports to be simultaneously shut-off with a half turn of the handle. This eliminates the need for external shut-off valves. Radial sealing o-rings and sealing surfaces are continuously cleaned each time the valve is used, ensuring leak-proof operation.
Valve-in-head filter housings are available in both 10" and 20" lengths, will accommodate a wide range of 2 3⁄8" to 27⁄8" diameter cartridges and are available with either reinforced polypropylene or clear FDA-compliant Styrene- Acrylonitrile (SAN) sumps.
