LOW PRESSURE FILTERS

Low Pressure (Return) Filters

100-600 psi
In-tank, inline, and duplex configurations provide flexibility for use in mobile,
industrial, and lube applications. Light weight construction and low ∆P
(cold start) options make these filters ideal for agriculture and construction
vehicles. Duplex filters allow for uninterrupted operation during element
change-out. Modular versions accommodate high flow requirements.
