Watts-FH7000BL12 Flowmatic Blue Filter Housing Std 20 in With 1/2 in Ports
Standard 20-Inch Filter Housing with 1/2" NPT Ports
The Watts FH7000BL12 Flowmatic housing is built for durability in demanding residential applications where standard housings fail. Thick reinforced walls and FDA-grade polypropylene construction deliver long-term performance in chemically aggressive water conditions without the pressure relief valve complications found in cheaper alternatives.
