For direct push-fit integration into appliance water feeds, the Puretec IL142Q serves as an inline water filter cartridge with built-in connections. It is suitable for under-sink drinking taps, coffee machines, and ice makers. The cartridge connects directly inline using quick connect fittings, without requiring threaded brass adapters.
Formed with a molded polymer outer shell, the physical dimensions measure 10 inches in length by 2 inches in diameter. The cartridge houses a granular activated carbon filter bed designed for mains tap water. The unit weighs 0.38 kg and operates in cold water feed lines with liquid temperatures up to 38°C.
This quick-connect filter operates within rated system pressure tolerances of 100 to 520 kPa. It is specified for a nominal micron rating of 5 micron to capture physical debris like rust, silt, and clay. The internal flow channel allows a maximum flow rate of 1.9 Lpm under standard municipal pressure.
The inlet and outlet utilize 1/4 inch quick connect tube ports for direct, tool-free tubing setup. It carries AS/NZS 3497 certification under licence number WM 74617. The coconut shell carbon media adsorbs dissolved chemical tastes, chlorine, and organic odours. It requires periodic cartridge swaps when capacity thresholds are reached.
