1. 

Flow rates are for FO-614PLF series pleated paper cartridges.  For higher viscosity fluids, consult your Velcon Representative.

2. 

 VF Series Filters are designed to accommodate our standard 6 in. O.D., 31/2 in. I.D., 141/2 in. long cartridges that are stacked one, two, or three 
high. Many cartridges are available in longer lengths that eliminate stacking. For example, a 44 inch long FO-644PLF1M could be used in place of 
three 141/2 inch long cartridges. This makes for easier and less expensive changeouts.

3. 

A number of threaded base filter cartridges (e.g. FO-644PLF5TB) are available, which allow for easier cartridge changeout and removal of 
particulate matter from the deckplates. See data sheet #1549. The threaded base cartridges mount on the 6000T Adapters.

4. 

 Dimensions shown are for estimating purposes only. For exact dimensions, obtain certified drawing.

5. 

 VF16 and VF20 Series vessels have flat covers. VF16 Series vessels do not have hydraulic lift jacks.

6. 

Available Aquacon® Cartridges are AC-6xx05 and AD-6xx25 where xx represents cartridge lengths of 14, 29, and 44 inches.
