Oblique sediment filter 1/2" with magnetic insert

Product detailed description

This compact oblique sediment filter is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing systems where protection of a single appliance or outlet is required. It is often installed in systems where water quality may contain particulate matter such as sand, rust, or other deposits. The filter is suitable for installation in vertical piping and is frequently used in domestic hot water circuits, dishwashers, and laundry appliances to prevent sediment from reaching sensitive components. The magnetic insert enhances the filtration by capturing iron particles that standard mesh filters may allow to pass. The filter is constructed from brass, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion in typical domestic and light commercial applications.

When selecting this filter, the installer should consider the orientation of the piping and ensure that the cleaning nut is positioned downward as specified. The maximum operating temperature and pressure must also be verified to ensure compatibility with the system in which it is to be installed. This filter is not intended for use in high-pressure or high-temperature industrial applications beyond the stated parameters.

The maximum operating temperature of 100°C means the filter is suitable for hot water systems but not for steam or high-temperature industrial applications. The maximum operating pressure of 10 bar (1.0 MPa) ensures it can handle typical domestic and light commercial water pressures. The 1/2 inch (G1/2) connection is a standard size for many household and small commercial appliances. The vertical installation requirement and downward orientation of the cleaning nut are critical for proper function and ease of maintenance.

Installation and connection

The filter must be installed in a vertical pipe with the cleaning nut facing downward to allow for efficient sediment collection and ease of cleaning. The 1/2 inch (G1/2) connection requires a compatible threaded fitting on the supply line. Before installation, the installer should verify the orientation of the filter and ensure that the cleaning nut is positioned correctly. A common mistake is installing the filter horizontally or with the cleaning nut facing upward, which can lead to sediment accumulation and reduced efficiency. The filter should be installed as close as possible to the appliance it is protecting to ensure effective filtration. After installation, the system should be checked for leaks and the filter should be tested for proper flow and pressure.

Compatibility and accessories

This filter is compatible with standard 1/2 inch (G1/2) threaded piping systems. It is typically used in conjunction with water heaters, washing machines, and other appliances that require protection from sediment and particulate matter. No additional accessories are required for installation, as the filter is self-contained and does not require external components. However, the installer should ensure that the system piping is compatible with the filter’s maximum operating pressure and temperature. No related products are available for this model.

Technical background for designers

The filter operates by allowing water to pass through a fine mesh screen that captures particulate matter such as sand and rust. The magnetic insert within the filter’s cartridge attracts iron particles that might otherwise pass through the mesh. The brass body provides good resistance to corrosion and ensures long-term durability in typical domestic and light commercial applications. The filter is designed for integration into vertical piping systems and should be positioned with the cleaning nut facing downward to allow for sediment to settle and be removed during maintenance. The maximum operating pressure and temperature are key factors in determining the suitability of the filter for a given application. The filter’s compact design makes it ideal for use in tight spaces where larger filtration systems are not practical.

Service and operation

The filter requires periodic cleaning to maintain its efficiency. The cleaning nut should be removed to access the filter cartridge and remove accumulated sediment. The frequency of cleaning depends on the water quality and the amount of particulate matter present in the system. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief, so the installer should assess the system conditions and clean the filter as needed. During operation, the filter should be monitored for signs of reduced flow or pressure, which may indicate the need for cleaning. The filter should be reinstalled with the cleaning nut facing downward after each maintenance procedure to ensure proper function.

Frequently asked questions

Can the filter be installed in a horizontal pipe?
No, the filter must be installed in a vertical pipe with the cleaning nut facing downward to function correctly.

Is the filter suitable for use with hot water systems?
Yes, the filter is suitable for temperatures up to 100°C, making it appropriate for hot water systems.

Can the filter be used in high-pressure systems?
No, the maximum operating pressure is 10 bar (1.0 MPa), so it is not suitable for high-pressure industrial systems.

Does the filter require any special tools for cleaning?
No, the filter can be cleaned using standard tools to remove the cleaning nut and access the filter cartridge.
