The F & FD Series Cartridge Filter Housings provide continuous particulate filtration for both critical and non-critical lube, seal and control oil applications. Many standard F & FD systems conform to API 614 requirements for system components, including the filters and transfer valves, as well as the required controls and instrumentation.
F & FD Series Housings are ideal across a wide range of applications, including: turbine, machine tool and lube oil console manufacturing; mining gear lube oil, transformer oil and heat transfer oil filtration; oil recycling; hydraulic systems and other rotating equipment such as compressors and motors.
