Reference geometry only · drawings are not to scale

Selection principle

Start with the housing, not the code

A connection name is a useful reference, but it does not prove interchangeability. The same-looking end can differ in shoulder position, insertion depth or seal geometry. Start with the relevant filter cartridge family, then confirm the housing interface.

01

Match the mating profile

Compare the housing seat, shoulder, bore and support geometry with the reference sketch.

02

Confirm every dimension

Verify diameters, insertion depth, clearances and cartridge overall length from an approved drawing or sample.

03

Verify the seal

Confirm O-ring location, seal material, groove geometry and compatibility with the process fluid and temperature.

04

Review the service

State flow direction, pressure, temperature, media, micron rating and acceptance requirements.

Connection terminology

Common filter cartridge end fittings

Use these buyer terms to narrow the connection family, then confirm the actual housing interface, seal and dimensions before ordering.

SOE / DOE

End configuration

SOE or DOE, connection type at each end, support arrangement and flow direction.

222 / 226

222 family

Similar-looking profiles may use different diameters, insertion lengths or shoulders. Confirm all values before treating them as interchangeable.

1" NPT / M20 / M30

Threaded connections

A thread designation alone does not confirm fit. Verify the mating thread, connection gender, engagement length, seal method, cartridge length and service conditions before ordering.

RFQ preparation

What to send for a reliable fit review

A clear dimensional package is faster and safer than identifying an end connection from a photograph alone. Product ranges and standard reference documents are available in our filter datasheets.

Send your specification
  • Housing evidenceEquipment drawing, existing element, sample or clear photos of the mating seat.
  • Critical dimensionsConnection OD/ID, shoulder position, insertion depth, thread designation, gender, engagement length and cartridge overall length.
  • Seal detailsO-ring, gasket or thread-seal method, groove dimensions, seal material and process compatibility.
  • End configurationSOE or DOE, connection type at each end, support arrangement and flow direction.
  • Process specificationFilter media, material, micron rating, fluid, pressure, temperature and cleaning method.
  • Commercial requirementQuantity, certificates, inspection criteria, delivery destination and target schedule.
