The Thesvin sintered activated carbon stick Ф51×127 is a coconut-shell-based carbon block filter designed for water purifiers, refrigerators, and coffee machines. It reduces chlorine, taste and odour, and certain heavy metals, making it suitable for residential and commercial water treatment. The cartridge features a 51 mm outer diameter and 127 mm length, ensuring a precise fit in compatible housings.
Fitment is the first consideration when replacing a carbon block. The Ф51×127 stick is engineered to slide into standard filter housings with a 51 mm bore, where it is typically held by end caps or a friction seal. The outer diameter and length are critical: even a 1 mm variance can cause bypass or leakage. Thesvin manufactures each stick to tight tolerances using a flexible sintering process that allows for custom diameters from Ф30 to Ф60 mm and lengths to match your drawing. End caps can be welded on request to suit specific port configurations. The surface is smooth and free from loose carbon dust, which helps maintain a clean installation and prevents downstream contamination.
The carbon block is made from high-iodine coconut shell activated carbon, known for its high adsorption capacity. It effectively reduces residual chlorine (bleach), unpleasant tastes and odours, and organic pollutants. Integrated food-grade ion exchange resin helps soften water by removing hardness minerals and certain heavy metals such as lead and mercury, reducing scale buildup in appliances. The porous structure provides a high initial flow rate and consistent filtration efficiency, while the sintered block prevents carbon fines from releasing into the water. This makes it ideal for pre- and post-filtration in reverse osmosis systems, direct drinking water dispensers, refrigerator water filters, and commercial coffee machines.

The Ф51×127 stick is designed for housings with a 51 mm bore and 127 mm length. Check your current filter dimensions; if they match, it should fit. For custom sizes, we can manufacture to your drawing.
Yes. Send us a clear photo of the old part with measurements, or ship a sample. Our engineers will replicate the dimensions and connections.
The carbon block reduces chlorine by over 95% and effectively removes taste, odour, and certain heavy metals. Rated flow is approximately 1.0 L/min, with a recommended life of 6–12 months or 6,000 L, depending on water quality.
Yes. We offer custom diameters from Ф30 to Ф60 mm, lengths, and end cap welding. Provide your specifications, and we will develop a solution that fits your device.
Standard models have an MOQ of 1,000–2,000 pieces, with lead time of 7–15 days. Custom orders typically require 5,000 pieces and 25–35 days. Samples are available for testing.
Replace every 6–12 months or after 6,000 L of water, whichever comes first. If you notice reduced flow or taste changes, replace earlier.
Yes. We provide 2–5 free samples of standard models; you only cover shipping. Custom samples may incur a fee, refundable on bulk orders. Sample lead time is 3–5 days for standard, 10–20 days for custom.
The facility is ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certified, and products meet REACH and RoHS. Our CNAS-accredited lab provides test reports for filtration performance. Contact us for detailed documentation.
