A flat cover and multiple bolts form the closure. Configure bag size, wetted materials, seals and port orientation.

Applications & filtration duty

For liquid particle filtration using a single-bag service routine. Allow space for pipework and individual bolt access.

Information to prepare for an inquiry

Use this family’s selection priorities to share available operating conditions, equipment information or drawings.

  • Define bag media, rating, size and ring.
  • Check cover clearance and port layout.
  • Review housing design and bag operating conditions separately.

Operation & maintenance

Before opening, replacing elements or disassembly, stop and isolate under the equipment procedure, depressurize, drain and confirm zero pressure. Isolate, depressurize and drain before changing the bag. Inspect the ring, cover seal and bolts, and tighten uniformly under the operating procedure.

Common operating inputs
  • Fluid and major composition
  • Target flow and operating pattern
  • Operating temperature and pressure
  • Contaminant form and target rating
  • Material, connection and space constraints
  • Maintenance frequency and existing equipment
