Flow Restrictor Black Capillary Tube Inserts For 1/4" Tubing 260 ml/min for 25-36 GPD RO Membranes
Model # FRCT-260
Flow restrictors in RO (Reverse Osmosis) systems control the flow rate of wastewater leaving the membrane.
Creates pressure: They slow down the flow of wastewater, which builds up pressure inside the RO membrane housing.
Helps filtration: That pressure forces water through the RO membrane, improving filtration
Prevents waste: Without a flow restrictor, water would rush out too fast, reducing efficiency and wasting filtered water.
So basically, they balance the system to ensure clean water gets properly filtered without wasting too much.
Most common flow restrictors to pair with your RO Membrane
Red (FRCT-110) – 110 mL/min → <18 GPD
Brown (FRCT-189) – 189 mL/min → 18–24 GPD
Black (FRCT-260) – 260 mL/min → 25–36 GPD
Yellow (FRCT-365) – 365 mL/min → 36–45 GPD
Green (FRCT-525) – 525 mL/min → 45–55 GPD
Blue (FRCT-575) – 575 mL/min → 55–75 GPD
