## Overview
Absolute-rated pleated high-flow elements optimized for low-pressure, high-dirt applications to extend run length and lower operating costs

## How It Works
Fluid enters the core and flows inside-to-outside through pleated media that captures particulates internally for cleaner change-outs

## Applications
- Acids/bases/amines/glycols prefiltration (media-selected chemical compatibility)
- Hydrocarbons/fuels/organic solvents particulate control and polishing
- General utilities/equipment protection at high dirt load and low pressure drop
