5" Wound Wire Cartridge, 5 Micron – Code: FA5 – HP Watermakers

5″ wound wire cartridge, 5 micron – FA5 (HP Watermakers)

The wound film cartridge from 5″ with filtration grade 5 microns, code FA5, is a replacement designed for filtration applications in technical fields, where a compact and easy-to-replace filter element is required. In the context of nautical and onboard plant systems, this type of cartridge is commonly used as part of water treatment systems and auxiliary circuits, where mechanical filtration helps keep the fluid cleaner and reduce particulate presence.

Type: wound wire cartridge

The cartridge wound wire is a filter element made with a winding of fiber that forms a filtering matrix. This configuration is often chosen when mechanical filtration aimed at removing particles and sediments is desired, with a component easy to replace during scheduled interventions.

Format and filtration grade

• Length: 5″
• Nominal filtration: 5 microns
• Product code: FA5

The value 5 microns identifies the filtration level indicated for this replacement. When choosing, it is important to verify that the filtration grade required by your system corresponds to that provided by the manufacturer or the maintenance plan.

Typical applications (nautical and plant engineering)

The 5″ 5 micron wound wire cartridge is generally used in contexts where mechanical prefiltration or line filtration is useful to retain particulates and sediments. In nautical and technical fields, it can be used in systems that include cartridges of this format and filtration grade, for example as a replaceable element within a dedicated filter holder.

Where it is most often used

• Routine maintenance in systems with filter holders for 5″ cartridges
• Sediment filtration in water circuits where a 5 micron cartridge is required
• Spare parts for systems and components related to the HP Watermakers / HP High Pressure line

Note: compatibility depends on the filter holder and the specifications of the system in which the cartridge is installed. In the absence of further data, it is advisable to compare format and micron rating with the element already in use or with the system documentation.

Why choose a wound wire cartridge in this format

• Practical replacement: replaceable filter element, suitable for scheduled maintenance
• Compact size: 5″ for installations with limited space
• 5 micron filtration: recommended when the system requires this level of particulate retention
• Clear coding: FA5 reference useful for reordering and spare parts management

General replacement instructions

• Check that the filter holder is designed for 5″ cartridges and that the system requires 5 microns.
• Before intervention, secure the system according to the prescribed procedures (line shutdown, depressurization, etc.).
• Remove the used cartridge and insert the new cartridge FA5 respecting the correct positioning in the filter holder cup.
• Close the filter holder and gradually restore operation, checking for any leaks.

Tips for purchase and correct identification

To avoid incompatibilities or incorrect orders, it is recommended to:

• compare the cartridge with the one installed (size 5″ and 5 microns);
• use the code FA5 as a reference when requesting or reordering;
• in case of doubt, check the documentation of the filter holder or system before purchase.
