Q&A

Can a Pentek 20" Heavy Duty Water Filter | DGD-5005-20, be used in this Stainless Steel Cartridge? Does it come with an O-Ring? Can both the O-Ring and the Pentek 20" sediment filter handle up to ~ 150F ambient temperature? I'm planning to install this Stainless Steel Cartridge in a garage (in the Phoenix, Arizona area). Phoenix, AZ garage can get very hot, up to ~ 150F ambient temperature, during summer months. I just want to make sure this Stainless Steel Cartridge, O-Ring and the Sediment Filter can handle the ~ 150F ambient temperature during the extreme hot summer months (inside a garage, in Phoenix, Arizona area)

Yes—the Pentek DGD-5005-20 (4.5" x 20") will fit and work in this stainless housing because the housing is designed for standard DOE (double open-end) 20" cartridges, and the housing uses an EPDM O-ring (the sealing O-ring is part of the housing and is required to operate). The stainless housing and EPDM seal are fine for your environment because the housing is rated up to 200°F operating temperature, but the Pentek DGD series cartridge itself is typically rated to about 145°F, so a Phoenix garage that can reach ~150°F puts the cartridge slightly above its published limit (even though cartridge ratings generally refer to water temperature, not air temperature). If you expect the filter body/water in the housing to heat-soak near that level, consider a cartridge with a higher temperature rating or install the housing in a more shaded/cooler spot.
