This Pentek 158643 3/8 in. #10 3G Slim Line clear filter housing with integrated mounting bracket and pressure relief is suitable for low flow rate applications that have space restrictions. The sump is made of clear styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) for on-site viewing of flow and cartridge condition, and the cap is made of reinforced blue polypropylene for strength and resistance to chemicals. The cap has 3/8in. female National Pipe Thread Taper (NPT) threaded input and output connections and a nitrile butadiene rubber (Buna-N) O-ring to ensure a watertight seal. A pressure relief button on the inlet side of the cap releases pressure in the housing for changing filter cartridges. The housing can be used with a 10 in. x 2-1/2 in. sediment or carbon filter cartridge. This filter housing meets National Sanitation Foundation/American National Standards Institute (NSF/ANSI) standard 42 for quality assurance, and is for use in various applications, including residential drinking water filtration, food service, and humidifying systems, among others.

Decided the little $30, 90 day filters in my frig. Are a joke. Rerouted water line on frig. To bypass it and installed this in line before frig. Six month carbon block filters in 6-pack are little over $4 and my water tastes much better than the pricey frig. Filter ever made it taste. Did conversion for a few dollars more that new frig. Filter. Next time would buy pentek filter housing model with integral quick connect fittings.

Easy to see filter. The slip on keyhole shaped mounting holes made it easy to mount.
