Reliable MXGP050-40V-SM Replacement Filter Cartridge | Parker Fulflo MaxGuard Compatible
The MXGP050-40V-SM Replacement Filter Cartridge from MemKway is designed as a reliable alternative to the Parker Fulflo MaxGuard Series MXGP050-40V-SM. Featuring 5 micron absolute polypropylene pleated media, a 40-inch large-diameter configuration, and a Viton O-ring seal, it provides efficient particle removal, high dirt-holding capacity, and stable filtration performance for demanding industrial liquid systems.
The cartridge uses a 226 O-ring positive seal with flat cap and integrated handle, allowing secure installation and convenient change-out. Its Viton sealing configuration makes it particularly suitable for compatible chemical processing, industrial process water, oil & gas fluids, petrochemical applications, and general high-flow process filtration where seal compatibility is an important selection factor.
