unusable due to poorly cut NPT threads
By Matt Brown
There’s one flaw that makes the Culligan HF-150A unusable, at least for me: The NPT threads for the inlet and outlet are cut incorrectly and do not work well with standard fittings.

As everyone knows, NPT threads are cut on a taper, so that the pieces snug into each other as you tighten. Both threads on this filter are cut too large. When you try to screw in standard NPT compression fittings, the fittings bottom out before becoming acceptably snug. (I wasn’t even using a wrench; I was tightening them by hand!)

I discovered this while I was dry fitting everything, and without thread tape. However, several professional plumbers at the local plumbers’ supply house agreed that all was not right with this unit. They tell me that one would expect that the fittings should get snug well before bottoming out, even without thread tape.

One plumber at the supply house suggested I kludge it with LOTS of thread tape, and maybe a water hose gasket; others suggested trashing this unit and getting a “good” one. Not wanting to kludge or experiment, I went with the latter suggestion ditched this filter.

Note: The instructions talk about using a “BF-34″ fitting kit to install this. Perhaps the only fittings that work with this are the BF-34 fittings. I don’t know. As I said above, I gave up on this filter.

Whatever filter you end up using, I suggest putting a cut-off valve on *BOTH* sides of it; that will make filter changes much easier. Being able to isolate the filter on both sides, you won’t have to turn off the water supply on the inlet, and won’t have the rest of the plumbing draining on your face through the outlet.

Caveat emptor.

Great value
By GoodTimes
These are a great value in terms of both up front cost and long term flexibility in using a variety of filter mediums. I use this as an under counter filter for both a dedicated drinking water tap and our ice maker line. I preferred this to alot of the kits as alot of the kits have cheap lines etc.
