The Pentek MC-1A Mounting Bracket Kit (part number 244047) includes a heavy-duty metal mounting bracket along with the necessary screws and hardware needed to securely mount compatible Pentek filter housings to a wall or under-sink surface. This kit is specifically designed by Pentek to provide a stable, vibration-free installation for your filtration system, ensuring long-term reliability.

The Pentek MC-1A mounting bracket is engineered for use with Pentek slim line 10" standard filter housings, including models such as the 3G Slim Line 10, ST-1, ST-2, and other compatible Pentek slim line housings. Always confirm your housing's cap dimensions match the bracket's mounting slots before installation to ensure a proper fit.

The Pentek MC-1A is a mounting bracket accessory kit, not a filter cartridge, so it does not carry a micron rating or NSF/ANSI filtration certification. It serves purely as a structural support component. The filtration performance and certifications (such as NSF/ANSI 42 or 53) depend on the Pentek filter cartridge and housing you pair it with.

To install the Pentek MC-1A bracket, first select a sturdy wall or cabinet surface with enough clearance below for filter cartridge changes (typically 3–4 inches). Secure the bracket to the surface using the included screws, ensuring it is level. Then attach your Pentek slim line housing cap to the bracket using the pre-drilled mounting holes. Confirm the assembly is tight before connecting water lines and pressurizing the system.

No, unlike filter cartridges that require replacement every 6–12 months or after a set gallon capacity, the Pentek MC-1A mounting bracket is a permanent, reusable hardware component. It is designed to last the lifetime of your filtration system and only needs replacement if it becomes damaged or corroded. Simply inspect it during each filter change to ensure it remains secure.
