- Flow rates are for pleated paper cartridges. For higher viscosity fluids, consult your Parker AFD Representative.
- FAP Series Filters are designed to accommodate our standard 6 in. O.D., 3 ½ in. I.D., 14 ½ in. long cartridges that are stacked one, two, or three high. Many cartridges are available in longer lengths that eliminate stacking. For example, a 44 inch long FO-644PLF1M could be used in place of three 14 ½ inch long cartridges. This makes for easier and less expensive changeouts.
- A number of threaded base filter cartridges (e.g. FO-644PLF5TB) are available, which allow for easier cartridge changeout and removal of particulate matter from the deckplates. The threaded base cartridges mount on the 6000T Adapters.
- Dimensions shown are for estimating purposes only. For exact dimensions, obtain certified drawing.
- FAP16 and VFAP20 Series vessels have flat covers. VFAP16 Series vessels do not have hydraulic lift jacks.
