SS Series
Cartridge Filter Housings
3M™ Model SS Series Cartridge Filter Housings, constructed of durable 316L stainless
steel, meet general-purpose industrial and commercial filtration needs. All wetted welded
surfaces are stainless steel. External surfaces of these filter housings are electro-polished
for a consistent, easy care finish.
The filter housings are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate from 4 to 88 filter
cartridges (Single length equivalents) with lengths to 40 inches (see Ordering Guide). The
housing has a maximum allowable working pressure of up to 150 psig (10.3 bar) at 250°F
(121°C), see Table 1.
Specifi cations
Table 1 gives standard model specifications for Model SS Series cartridge filter housings.
Note that maximum allowable working pressure and temperature is the rating for the
housing only. Actual housing maximum operating temperature depends on temperature and
chemical capability of the filter cartridge and gasket used in the housing.
Cartridge Requirements
Model SS Series filter housings accept both single and multiple length filter cartridges.
Table 2 lists the number of filter cartridges for each model housing.
Features & Benefi ts

Flow Rates
Table 3 lists the maximum water flow rates in gallons per minute (GPM) for each model
filter housing.
Use the data in Table 3 only as a guide in establishing the max imum housing
flow capacity; do not use it for filter sizing. Once a flow rate for a selected cartridge is known, use Table 3 to check whether the housing’s flow rate falls within
the recommended guidelines.
When sizing a filter, the amount of contaminant load needs to be considered in
addition to the flow rate and desired pressure drop. Low initial pressure drop
enhances filter cartridge life.
Cartridge Seal Assemblies
The SS24, SS36, SS48, SS66, and SS88 housings include spring seal assemblies
(Picture 1) that permit the use of filter cartridges with single length equivalents of
9 3/4 to 10 inches.
SS4 through SS20 models use pressure plate assemblies while SS24 through SS88 models
use pressure plate with individual spring and seal assemblies.
Standard housings are configured to accept double open end style cartridges. To adapt the
housing to accept single open end, double o-ring cartridges with locating spear, remove
the housing cartridge posts and the spring & seal assembles. Replace the standard pressure
plate with the SOE pressure plate (order separately).
