3M™ High Flow Series Filter System
3M Purification Inc. offers High Flow housings able to handle
flowrates from 2450 to 9500 gpm through a single housing. These
larger housings are available in carbon steel, 304 stainless, and
316L stainless steel. For flow rates below 2450 gpm, refer to 3M
Purification literature LITCHF1.
A Quick Open and Close mechanism is available as an option
for the 316L stainless steel 7HF, 12HF, and 19HF housings, in
both horizontal and vertical congurations, to allow even easier
cartridge change-outs.
