Compatible Filter Housings
The Watts FM40 bracket is designed specifically for Flowmatic 500, 4200, and 7000 series filter housings in double configurations. This bracket accommodates the standard housing diameter and spacing requirements for these Watts Flowmatic series. Verify your specific housing model before ordering to ensure proper fit.
🔧 When mounting dual filter housings with different media types, position the sediment or larger-micron filter as the first stage (inlet side) to extend the life of your finer filtration cartridge in the second housing.
