Need Frantz filter sleeves.

[Corelokt]

To fit larger tube tp rolls in the older Frantz filters.

I use high temp resistant O-Rings. They work well.

There not sold anymore, you either have to make them or like xtell use O-rings. Another option that works is to cut old toilet rolls and use them as sleeves or buy sleeves from a company like this.

I'd like to see the prints in use. How big are they to fill the gap?

I use two old TP roll tubes cut lengthwise for my Motorguard coolant filter, and it works fine. Cheap too. I'd think it would also work in the Frantz.

I'm not sure what you mean by seeing the prints in use.

As has been said if the gap bother you slide a few O rings down the tube. The element does not seal against the tube but with the base where the large square rubber ring is.

One word of advise is when installing a TP roll and assembling the filter do not press the roll all the way into the housing. Push it just far enough to clear the flange. When you install the housing onto the base it will push the filter in to the point it will be properly seated against the housing and you will not have to worry about oil bypassing the filter.

I don't know where prints came from. I meant o-rings.

Anyone have a source for the o rings to adapt to larger filter tubes?
I have two of the filter set-ups. A ton of old school tp. A bag of lid o-rings. No filter sleeves.

I use Viton ETP O Rings. I got them at a shop that carries fluid connectors for off road construction equipment. I just brought in my Frantz filter mount and the guy matched up the o rings to the center shaft. They are rated from -15F to over +400F and good for use with petroleum products. You could also use round Silicone o-rings. They also come in many sizes and are high and low temperature resistant.

I've been using oil resistant heat shrink tubing over my center tubes.

 

[AlaskaMike]

Jacobs--that sounds pretty interesting. Can you share name and/or make of the specific product, and maybe a link or two?

 

[jacobs]

Sorry, I purchased the heat shrink on eBay a few years ago and there wasn't any information or markings on the product.

 

[A310]

That's a great idea, I just ordered some heat shrink to try on a couple of my MotorGuards.
