Watts-WPC5-40 Watts Pleated Cartridge 5 Micron Std 40 in
Watts WPC5-40 Pleated Sediment Cartridge
The Watts WPC5-40 delivers what standard 40-inch sediment cartridges cannot: dramatically increased surface area through pleated synthetic media that handles higher flow rates with lower pressure drop. This is the cartridge you specify when dirt loading is heavy and filter changeouts are expensive.
| Model Number | Watts WPC5-40 / WPC5-40 |
| Filtration Rating | 5 Micron Nominal |
| Dimensions | 2.75" OD × 40" Length |
| Filter Media | Cellulose-free synthetic pleated |
| Temperature Range | 40–140°F (4.4–60°C) |
| Maximum Pressure | 40 PSI |
| Flow Type | Standard Flow (FlowMax Series) |
| Reusability | Washable and reusable |
Pleated sediment cartridges like the Watts WPC5-40 offer exponentially more surface area than spun polypropylene or string-wound alternatives. The result is longer service life, better dirt-holding capacity, and sustained flow rates even as the filter loads. The synthetic media contains no binders or additives that cause foaming, making it ideal for pre-filtration ahead of reverse osmosis membranes or as primary sediment control in whole-house applications. Because it's washable, you can extend service intervals in lighter-duty applications and reduce total cost of ownership.
The Watts WPC5-40 fits standard 40-inch filter housings with 2.75" inner diameter, commonly used in whole-house sediment filtration systems and commercial RO pre-treatment trains. Verify your housing is rated for at least 40 PSI and designed for proprietary or standard 40-inch cartridges. This cartridge works in municipal and well water applications where sediment, silt, rust, and sand are present at moderate to heavy concentrations.
