This is a great way to mount a water filter to the wall so changing filters is NOT an easy way to break the pipe or soldered connection. The mount holds the filter housing rock solid to make filter changes easy. I install one of these on every filter installation, just makes life so much easier.Read Best Reviews of Culligan UB-1 Mounting Bracket with Screws Here
This bracket looked a little light at first but, once mounted to a plywood wall with 4 screws, it became very stiff and works well as a mount for the water filter housing.Either someone changed the design or somebody made it wrong. I have purchased these before over the years[elsewhere] and they were the correct width for the water filter I purchased. This time however, the bracket is 3/8" wider than the width of the water filter housing. {the bracket and filter housing and filter were sold as a 3 part kit} On top of that, I believe the holes for the plumbing fittings are too large. I have copper pipe in my house and used 3/4" copper fittings into the filter housing. The holes are so large, that the fitting almost goes through the holes in the bracket. IF you are familiar with 3/4" copper male adapters, they have flat sides on them so you can wrench them. Even with these flat sides, they almost go through the holes. To describe it, the ''corners'' of the wrench fitting are all that keeps the fitting from falling through the hole in the bracket. I looked for large washers at my local orange box store but they didn''t have anything. Also, to install, you have to squeeze the bracket down to meet the filter body. The old ones were a snug fit with smaller holes. These are better than nothing, but I''m not thrilled with it. IF you do the same, remember to solder the fittings into some pipe stubs sep from the filter housing, then install into the filter after they cool down or you will melt the water filter housing.i bought this to mount my Watt whole house sediment filter... it is essential to mount the filter on the wall so that it takes the stress off of the water lines...
