Parker Velcon AC-71805 6 1/4 in. x 18 in. Aquacon Water Absorbing Cartridge - 5 Micron

The Parker Velcon AC-71805 Aquacon Cartridge is a high-performance water absorbing filter designed to remove both free and emulsified water, as well as particulate contaminants, from oils, fuels, and gases. Featuring a 5-micron rating and patented media construction, this cartridge chemically bonds water to prevent downstream release and shuts off flow when saturated, signaling the need for replacement. Its fiberglass-based design ensures effective filtration without media migration, while the Buna-N seal and high collapse pressure rating support reliable operation in demanding environments. Ideal for use in aviation, industrial, and energy applications, the AC-71805 fits standard housings and maintains fluid integrity without affecting oil additives.

Features

• Advanced Water Absorption: Removes water to below 2 ppm and shuts off flow when saturated.
• Efficient Particulate Filtration: Filters silt, rust, and other contaminants with 5-micron precision.
• Reliable Operation: Differential pressure increase alerts operators for timely cartridge changeout.
• Durable Construction: No media migration, high collapse pressure, and compatibility with standard housings.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of oils, fuels, and gases including diesel, gasoline, and hydraulic fluids.
