Boshart 14-PPE1-05 10" Pleated Polyester Sediment Filter Cartridge, 5 Micron

The Boshart 14-PPE1-05 is a 10" standard pleated polyester filter cartridge rated at 5 micron, built for residential, commercial, and industrial water filtration applications. The non-woven polyester filter media is pleated around a polypropylene core for added strength and stability, giving installers a durable cartridge that stands up to repeated service in whole-house and point-of-use filtration housings. This is a rough-in consumable for a standard 10" filter housing, not a finished fixture, and is sized to drop into any housing built for standard 10" cartridges.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 10" standard length cartridge, compatible with standard 10" filter housings used in residential and commercial systems.
  • Micron Rating: 5 micron rating for effective sediment and dirt reduction at maximum-efficiency flow rates.
  • Durable Construction: Non-woven polyester filter media pleated around a polypropylene core for added strength and stability during service and cleaning cycles.
  • Pleated Surface Area: The pleated design increases surface area for greater sediment and dirt holding capacity while maintaining flow rate and reducing initial pressure drop compared to non-pleated media.
  • Cleanable & Reusable: These cartridges can be cleaned and reused in most applications and micron ratings, reducing ongoing replacement costs for the installer or end user.
  • Flow Rate Note: Listed flow rates are based on maximum filtration efficiency; the cartridge can be run at higher flow rates but with reduced filtering effectiveness.

Technical Specifications

  • Micron Rating: 5 Micron
  • Length: 10" Standard
  • Filter Media: Non-woven Polyester, Pleated
  • Core Material: Polypropylene
  • Country of Origin: Taiwan
  • Packaging: 50 ea

Typical Applications

  • Pre-Filtration Ahead of Water Softeners and RO Systems
  • Replacement Cartridge Stock for Plumbing Contractors

Why Boshart?

Boshart's pleated polyester filter cartridges pair a strengthened polypropylene core with pleated non-woven polyester media to deliver greater dirt-holding capacity without sacrificing flow rate. Because these cartridges can be cleaned and reused across most applications and micron ratings, contractors get a filtration product that holds up to repeat service life. Sold 50 per case, the 14-PPE1-05 gives plumbing and filtration installers a reliable stock item for standard 10" filter housings across residential, commercial, and industrial jobs.

Boshart 14-PPE1-05 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Boshart 14-PPE1-05 fit a standard 10-inch filter housing?
Yes. The 14-PPE1-05 is a 10 inch standard length cartridge and drops into any housing built for standard 10 inch cartridges, which covers most residential whole-house and commercial point-of-entry housings. It is a consumable cartridge only, so the housing, o-ring and sump wrench come from your existing system.
2) Is 5 micron the right choice for sediment pre-filtration ahead of a softener or RO system?
The 14-PPE1-05 is rated 5 micron, which is the usual pick for sediment and dirt reduction upstream of water softeners and RO membranes. It catches fine silt and rust without the pressure drop of a 1 micron cartridge. If your water carries heavy grit, run a coarser cartridge first so the 5 micron pleat is not loading up on sand.
3) Can this pleated polyester cartridge be washed out and reused, or is it throw-away?
It is cleanable and reusable in most applications. The non-woven polyester media is pleated around a polypropylene core for strength, so it holds its shape through repeated cleaning cycles, unlike a spun or melt-blown depth cartridge which is single-use. Rinse it out, reinstall, and replace it when pressure drop no longer recovers.
4) Pleated versus spun sediment cartridge - which should I use in a whole-house housing?
Pleated media, like the 14-PPE1-05, gives more surface area for the same 10 inch housing, so it holds more dirt and starts with a lower pressure drop, and it can be cleaned and put back in. A spun or depth cartridge traps particles through its thickness and is discarded when loaded. For visible silt and rust in a whole-house or point-of-entry housing where you want service life, the pleated cartridge is the practical choice.
5) Do the published flow rates for this cartridge mean I cannot run it faster?
No. Boshart's listed flow rates for the pleated polyester cartridges are based on maximum filtration efficiency. You can push more flow through the cartridge, but filtering effectiveness drops as you do. If you need both the rated 5 micron performance and higher flow, go to a larger housing or parallel cartridges rather than over-driving a single 10 inch element.
6) How many Boshart 14-PPE1-05 cartridges come in a case?
Packaged 50 each per case. That is the format plumbing and filtration contractors stock for recurring service calls on standard 10 inch housings. Manufacturer part number is 14-PPE1-05.
7) Is this cartridge suitable for industrial process water, or is it a residential-only part?
It is rated for residential, commercial, and industrial water filtration. Typical uses run from whole-house systems to commercial point-of-entry housings and industrial process water sediment filtration. The polypropylene core is what lets it hold up across those heavier service cycles.
8) What material is the Boshart pleated sediment cartridge made of, and does it matter for my water?
Media is non-woven polyester, pleated around a polypropylene core. Both are inert plastics, so the cartridge is a mechanical sediment filter only, it will not reduce chlorine, taste or odour. For those, pair it as a pre-filter ahead of a carbon stage. Country of origin is Taiwan.
