Standard RO Membrane Housing

These standard RO membrane housings are long-lasting and offer wide membrane compatibility. Membrane housings are relatively standard across the industry, and these housings will fit standard 10" RO membranes, such as the popular Dow Filmtec 75 GPD membranes. Made with high-quality components...

You can likely frankenstien something together even if your unit is built by a different OEM.

You don't have to have the gauge threaded into the RO Membrane Housing (capsule). Just T off.

Also, rule of thumb, you always want to avoid threading metal onto plastic FIP. They always crack.

good man @EasternShoreman well, and @magallonbuckinbulls

+1 looks like you can remove that plastic that houses the double membrane unit and just replace the one with the pressure gauge. best of luck.

If I get a new capsule w/o hole for pressure gauge, would that be okay and just get a brs gauge? If so, does the gauge go in waste or pure line?
