Why are Foxx autofils so cheap at MLgear?

What are they? I could look but I’m lazy

12/case 500ml Autofil® .2μm High Flow PES Bottle Top Filter, Full Assembly
 
I watched a video on it...i didn't see where it include the nipple to attach the vac hose. For that reason alone I'm going with zapcap.

The cradle for those things is like 170 bucks I think...
Pretty obvious it must have a tube for a vacuum hose somewhere
probably on the back side, not seen in this pic
 
I've only run 200 ml at one time. Cracked a couple lowers at 8 psi with a hand pump. I'd keep it below 5psi for sure.
That's why I went to glass. Id crack them at 5psi and they were just a little to slow for me. I like having more surface area to decrease filtering time.
Wish glass you just wash, sterilize and put a new sterile filter in and your good to go! Just my opinion though. I feel like this is the next safest thing if your newish to brewing and don't want to use a syringe filter.
 
they work fine, ive used multiple times with only one breaking (due to me being a fuckwit)

refined MCT oil doesnt even clog the filter , 300-500ml went thru in
minutes
 
I bought a glass lower but I just like the sterility of the complete unit. I just hand pump a few times up to 4 or 5 psi, then do a set, hand pump again and repeat..

Wait, you mean a set like a working set? You have to pump it that often? I only pumped it once and it would take a half hour to go down from 5lbs to 3lbs of vacuum if that. That was on the plastic pre-sterile ones too not glass. Wonder why your having to pump that often. As matter of fact I filtered 800ml once and only monitored it for an hour. Left for 19hrs came back an it had zero pressure and was all filtered. Almost like it gravity filtered itself the rest of the way...Huh.

Yeah man. If I leave it for a few minutes it's down to zero and not dripping. I'm running warm mct through it so it does 100ml in like 20 minutes. Maybe 30 minutes.. .22 pore size.

Oh that's why. It's filtering faster. I was using grapeseed oil and a .22
