INSTALLATION & USE
Mounting Your Filter Housing

- Mark mounting holes and secure the bracket to a stud or solid backing using appropriate hardware (not included).
- Align your Pentek 3G MB housing with the bracket's mounting bosses and secure the housing cap to the bracket using the integrated mounting points.
- Connect inlet and outlet plumbing to the 3/4" NPT ports and pressure-test the system before putting it into service.
COMPATIBILITY
Compatible Housings
The Pentek MC-1A bracket is designed for Pentek and American Plumber 3G MB (Mounting Bosses) housings with 3/4" NPT connections. Compatible models include Pentek 150542, 150546, 150558, 150562, 150587, 150544, 150548, 150560, and 150564. This bracket works with both #10 and #20 standard housings featuring mounting boss configurations, making it suitable for 10"x2.5" filter cartridges in under-sink, whole house, and hot water filtration applications with 1/4" to 3/4" water lines.
🔧 Always mount the bracket to a wall stud or use appropriate anchors for drywall installations. A full 10" housing with water can weigh 15-20 pounds, and pressure surges during filter changes can stress poorly anchored brackets.
