The Pentek 158138 5-inch housing is perfect for applications in RVs or campers, boats, small sinks, countertop residential filtration, pre- and post-reverse osmosis filtration, or humidifying systems. The Pentek 158138 Slim-Line water filter housing has outstanding chemical compatibility and is ideal for use in a variety of low flow applications. The water filter cartridge is not included with the housing--this allows you to purchase the best water filter for your water supply. It uses any 5-inch L x 2.5-inch W sediment or carbon drinking water filter. The Pentek 158138 housing has 1/4-inch inlet/outlets in the black reinforced polypropylene cap. Leaking is prevented by the dynamically sealing o-ring. The O-Ring should be replaced every couple of water filter changes to prevent leaks. Two number 5 housings can be connected with a pipe nipple or pipe union. There are several pipe nipples available that can be used to connect two number 5 Standard Housings. Use the NP-14 pipe nipple to connect two number 5 Housings with 1/4-inch inlet/outlets.
