Choosing between two used Parker bag filter strainer vessels for your filtration separation work comes down to how much you value a lower listed price versus an explicit size phrase in the title. Both units are used and made in the United States. The first carries a Parker model code, FCB 12-2, and a manufacturer part number; the second is identified by a dimensional phrase in its name.
Quick Verdict
If you want a lower-priced unit and a specific model/MPN reference, the Parker FCB 12-2 is the more straightforward buy. If you need the vessel whose title spells out 8" x 48 and you're okay paying more, then the other Parker unit is the one to consider.

Where Each Product Wins
Parker FCB 12-2 wins on price and identification: it gives you the model FCB 12-2 and MPN 9203-0051 to reference.
Parker Process Filtration Bag Filter Strainer Vessel 8" x 48 wins if you want the 8" x 48 phrase in the title, even though it is the higher-priced unit and doesn't include a model or MPN.
Product Notes
Parker FCB 12-2 Process Filtration Bag Filter Strainer Vessel 100PSI @ 200°F
This is the lower-priced Parker vessel in the pair. Its title provides a clear model designation, FCB 12-2, plus the MPN 9203-0051, and it includes the pressure/temperature phrase 100PSI @ 200°F. The item description lists SKU 207049. If you're comfortable referencing a unit by its model code rather than a dimensional description, this one offers the more complete identification details. The trade-off is that the title doesn't include a size statement, so it's not the pick for shoppers who want to see a dimension like 8" x 48 spelled out.
Parker Process Filtration Bag Filter Strainer Vessel 8" x 48
This used Parker vessel carries the explicit 8" x 48 dimension in its title, which makes it the easier option if you're searching by that size phrase. It is the higher-priced unit of the two, and it does not include a model number or manufacturer part number; the item description shows SKU 207051. Like the FCB 12-2, it's made in the United States and its GTIN is listed as Does Not Apply. Go with this one if the dimensional phrase in the title matters more to you than a model code.
Final Choice by Use Case
- Choose the Parker FCB 12-2 at USD 169.09 if you want the lower listed price and a unit with a model/MPN reference.
- Choose the Parker Process Filtration Bag Filter Strainer Vessel at USD 203.83 if you need the 8" x 48 phrase in the title and are willing to pay the higher listed price.
