Is there a specification sheet for one of these? I'm trying to find out the height, depth and width.
Edit: I found this ...

Author: Dark Mantis This is a very nicely designed and manufactured product as with most of AquaComputer's range and is made in Germany of Delrin, Stainless Steel and Plexiglas. The size overall of this filter unit without fittings is 84 x 67 x 40 mm.
Sorry to necro this thread (again) but I have a question about installation ...
The outside screws nearest the fittings part of the filter don't seem to be far enough away from the acetal body for the bolt to attach. Either the bolts force the screw out of alignment or it sets on the acetal body and there is not enough room to install the panel the filter is being installed on to.
Pics to illustrate what I am trying to ask about ...
Here is where the filter is going to go ... that is a solid top panel drop in for my Murcery S5.
Filter top view, two (of four) attaching screws (the very outside screws) added. I have no issues with the one on the right (rear of filter) ... it should install easily.
Side view ... note the screw on the right (front of filter) - how it is sticking up a little. It is sticking up because the bolt is sitting on the acetal body.
View looking down the length of the filter ... I have screwed the bolt down.
The question is ... how do I get this attached to the aluminium plate (thickness 2.45mm) when the bolt is 3.14mm thick and the gap between the top plate and the acetal body is 4.40mm. Note that there is NOT enough room between the acetal body and the screw for the bolt to fit ... it will push the bolt out of alignment.

Might be a little too late because you've already done the drilling, but I dealt with the issue in my prototype by tapping out threads in the screw holes instead of using nuts on the screws. It's for a different case of course, but the same principles apply.. Still, if you're careful, you might be able to move to M4 screws for the mounting, drilling and tapping for them. I'll be using buttonhead M4 screws myself once the panels I've ordered arrive.I also trim the screw lengths myself. Also, not sure how large the holes you've already drilled are.
The sheet of aluminum i'm mounting the filter to is 2.034mm (0.08 in) thick btw (it's the rectangular one on the right in the following image):
I don't believe that tapping aluminium is a great idea ... it being fairly soft. CaseLabs do have some embedded nuts (ie tapped holes) but I believe they do that by pressing iron nuts into their aluminium sides.
That might be the solution I am looking for here. I am off to test OCN's search ability.
Edit: I remembered a Mod-One thread where they (sort of) covered this. That got me the right term (self clinching nut) and then google took over. Results found ...
I have to buy a filter. Of course, the choice fell on Aquacomputer Flter.
- What is the default filter mounting plate? (70 mm)
- What is the distance between the holes?
- In what position should the filter be installed (horizontally / vertically) so as not to drain the water when cleaning?
I wonder where I can mount the filter - what patents do you know?
On the fan, next to the fan, some special mounting frame, etc.
That should be enough room. I had (past tense) mine at the top so I could clear it without draining loop. There are shut off valves so you can clear it in any position with minimal water loss.
Will Aquacomputer Flter fit there with the default mounting frame size?
I'm just looking for a double bay - the whole panel or mesh that can be mounted in the chassis. What did you use?
Take a photo from the inside of the chassis - show how it looks.
P.S. Why do you have such a large water flow?
You are doing something aggravating on PC. My flow is about 80 l/h.
Very large flow is unnecessary because we have optimal heat removal from LC blocks at 60 l/h to 120 l/h
Because it was worked out a long time ago that the optimal flow rate for best temps is between 1 and 1.5 US gallons a min, to achieve 1 US gall here in the UK that works out at 3.79L a min X by 60 is 227.4LH
