Water Filter Housing Parts Identification Guide

Identify the complete housing model before choosing a head, sump, seal, clamp or fitting. A seal is not universal simply because its diameter or appearance seems similar.

Identification checklist

  1. Photograph the housing label and record the complete model and material marking.
  2. Identify whether the requested piece is a body, head, sump, seal, clamp, wrench or connection component.
  3. Record every documented inlet/outlet size and connection designation.
  4. Match the exact manufacturer number; do not infer seal fitment across housing series.
