GPW filter holder 10" 1" connection - code: P34.508

GPW 10" cartridge filter housing with 1" connection (P34.508)

The GPW 10" cartridge filter with 1" connection – code P34.508 is a filter body for water treatment designed for the insertion of a filter cartridge (not included). The construction combines a head and cover in reinforced polypropylene (blue color) with a transparent bowl, useful for a quick visual inspection of internal conditions and any presence of impurities.

The threaded connections are reinforced with brass inserts, while system management is facilitated by the presence of a manual vent valve, useful during restart and maintenance operations. The filter is also prepared for wall mounting using a plastic bracket available as an accessory (Code. 304673).

Features and construction details

Materials and configuration

• Head and nut cap in reinforced polypropylene (blue).
• Transparent vessel for visual inspection.
• Threaded connections with brass inserts for reinforcement.
• Integrated manual vent valve to facilitate system operations.

Format and preparations

• 10" cartridge housing (filter body prepared for cartridge).
• 1" connection.
• Preparation for wall mounting using accessory plastic bracket Code 304673.
• Supplied without cartridge (the cartridge must be selected separately based on the filtration requirement).

Declared data

• Maximum operating pressure: 8 bar.
• Burst pressure: 35 bar.
• Operating temperature: from 0ºC to 50ºC.

Note on the transparent housing

The transparent housing is designed to allow immediate verification of the filter status and any particulate accumulation. In plant engineering (including onboard systems) this feature can simplify maintenance scheduling and periodic inspection.

Typical applications

This cartridge holder is intended as a component of a water filtration system where a cartridge compatible with the specified format is to be inserted. In a technical context (plant engineering, maintenance, and nautical applications) it can be used as an inline element to help manage impurities present in the water, depending on the installed cartridge.

• Pre-filtration in water systems, where visual inspection of the housing is useful.
• Maintenance and retrofit of existing lines with threaded connections.
• Wall-mounted installations (using an accessory bracket) for an orderly and accessible arrangement.

Operational advantages

Quick inspection and simplified management

The combination of transparent bowl and manual vent valve makes the component practical for control activities and restart operations after system interventions. The manual vent can help manage residual air, while the transparency of the housing allows immediate verification without unnecessary disassembly.

Reinforced connections

The brass inserts on the threaded connections are a construction detail aimed at the robustness of the connection area, particularly stressed during installation and maintenance.

Neat installation with accessory bracket

The provision for wall mounting using an accessory plastic bracket (Code. 304673) allows for a cleaner and more accessible installation, useful when you want to keep the filter body stable and easily reachable for periodic operations.

Usage and important notes

Cartridge not included

The product is supplied without cartridge. The choice of cartridge depends on the filtration goal and system requirements. When ordering or during maintenance, verify that the selected cartridge is consistent with the cartridge holder format.

Installation and commissioning

• Install respecting the flow direction specified by the system and ensuring a proper seal of the threaded connections.
• During filling and pressurization, use the manual vent valve to facilitate air removal.
• Allow sufficient space for access to the vessel and for maintenance operations.

Operating limits

Respect the declared pressure and temperature data: 8 bar as maximum operating pressure, 35 bar as burst pressure, and 0ºC–50ºC as operating temperature range. In case of different system conditions, consider an appropriate alternative solution.

Accessories

For wall mounting, the accessory plastic bracket Code 304673. is available. If the installation requires a stable and neat fixing, it is advisable to plan it during the system configuration phase.
