CulliganUB-1 Mounting Bracket with Screws

Works

work great fit great

Nothing much .

Fits the Watts filter housing perfectly as others have noted. Must be installed on the housing before the inlet and outlet fittings are installed. This creates the only real annoyance. Once the bracket is on the filter housing, the housing effectively blocks access to the screws that secure it to the wall. While the screw holes in the bracket are slotted to allow the screws to be installed in the wall first and the bracket slipped over the screw heads and then slid down into place it would be nice to be able to securely tighten the screws. If the back of the bracket were an inch or two taller that would be possible.It would be even nicer if the screws furnished with the bracket actually had heads small enough to allow the bracket to slip over them as intended. How about it there Culligan??

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.

This bracket was ordered to support an Omni Corporation U25E water filter, and it worked well for that application. (NOTE: The filter body must be placed directly in the middle of the bracket, or the bracket sides may prevent the filter housing from screwing all the way in and sealing properly.) The reason for the 3 stars is the screws provided to mount the bracket. To explain, before mounting the water filter on my chosen location on a wall, I assembled the filter, bracket, and inlet/outlet pipes on my workbench. To do so, I first placed the bracket around the filter, then screwed the inlet and outlet pipes into the filter through the openings in the bracket. The slots in the back of the bracket then allow the entire filter/piping assembly to be placed onto the wall screws, and lowered into place - they would be very difficult to access otherwise. Unfortunately, the screws provided were so big that they would not fit through the large openings on the bracket slots. Thankfully I caught this and was able to use slightly smaller screws and drill the wall holes accordingly. The vendor should ensure that the screws provided will work with the bracket slots.

It does the job, but you MUST mount the bracket and filter BEFORE any pipe fitting - what I mean by that is, if you have two fixed items and you need to insert pipes into both items, this one MUST be in the bracket FIRST, so getting ther length on a Shark Bite or other type where length is critical will not be a easy (yes, of course it can be done). They need a mod to the design - a simple one. Make it a 2 piece unit. Make this bracket an OPEN U so you can push the pipe down into it and have a second (VERY inexpensive) screw down L or J shaped bracket to hold it in place.It also gets in the way of the wrench on thin Pipe connectors.

This made my life easier for mounting the Watts Whole House filter to the drywall. It's an inexpensive investment otherwise you'll have to make your own. The only glitch I had was screwing in the Sharkbite 3/4" fitting to the Watts filter prior to fitting it onto the bracket. Well, once those fittings went on the filter there's no way to fit the filter onto the bracket. So I had to unscrew these fittings; lined the Watts filter inlet over the bracket then screw the fittings on. Lesson learned. It's a stupid mistake which I should have foreseen.

This mounting bracket worked great for my Watts WH-LD premier whole house filter system. It fit securely on the wall holding the filter system in place for easy filter change.

Could be a bit beefier but works good.

très bien
