The industry workhorse — graded density glass fiber media on a spiral locked steel core, coalescing liquids and holding solids in high-contamination gas service.

Depth-Lok JFG Series
Depth-Lok JFG is a coalescing depth element built for the dirty end of gas processing. A graded density fiberglass pack — glass fibers of varying diameters, layered — coalesces liquid aerosols while holding solid contaminant, and a heavy-duty spiral locked steel core keeps the cartridge from collapsing when the differential climbs. It is the design operators reach for when the contamination load is high and the element has to hold up.
Features & Benefits
Graded density depth design for optimum solid holding and liquid coalescing in one element
Specialized glass fiber media with varying fiber diameters for superior efficiency
Micron ratings from 0.3 to 10 micron for precise particle removal
Heavy-duty spiral locked steel core prevents collapse at high differential pressures
Electro-galvanized steel end caps, mechanically secured for cartridge strength
Outside-to-inside flow direction, designed specifically for gas filtration
Low initial pressure drop — under 0.5 PSID — for energy-efficient operation
Operating range of 60°F to 240°F covers most process environments
