Description
The Sunset Suction Bacteria Filter filters bacteria out of the suction line, with a 3/8 in to 1/2 in stepped barb on both sides so it seats into the tubing sizes suction setups use. It is also the bacteria filter Sunset includes in its RES026S-E suction kit, which makes it the standard replacement filter for that kit.
- Stepped Barb, Both Sides – Each end carries a 3/8 in to 1/2 in stepped barb, so the filter fits either tubing size in the run.
- Bacteria Filtration – The filter strips bacteria from the suction line before the airstream reaches the machine.
- Kit-Standard Part – It is the bacteria filter supplied in Sunset's RES026S-E suction kit, so kit users have one replacement part.
One Filter for Both Tubing Sizes in the Run
Suction lines mix tubing sizes, and a filter that only fits one of them becomes the part that is never on the shelf when it is needed. The stepped barb answers that directly, because each end steps between 3/8 in and 1/2 in, seating into whichever tubing the setup uses. In the line, the filter does the quiet work of bacteria filtration, keeping what the canister collects from traveling onward toward the machine. Sunset builds this filter into its RES026S-E suction kit as the kit's bacteria filter, so the same part serves kit restocks and standalone suction lines alike. For supply rooms, one filter covering both tubing sizes and the standard kit is a simpler shelf to keep stocked.

Why This Filter Covers More of the Shelf
A filter that fits both tubing sizes in the run removes the wrong-size failure from filter changes. Being the kit-standard part as well means one SKU restocks two workflows.
- Both Sizes, One Filter – The stepped barb seats 3/8 in and 1/2 in tubing – the change never waits on a size match – maintenance stays on schedule.
- Kit and Line Alike – It is the RES026S-E kit filter and a standalone line filter – one part number serves both – stocking stays simple.
- Bacteria Stops Here – Filtration in the line keeps bacteria from traveling to the machine – the pump stays cleaner – service intervals hold.
