Oblique sediment filter 3/4"

Product detailed description

It provides a mechanical filtration solution to protect downstream components such as thermostatic valves, heat exchangers and fittings. The filter is typically mounted vertically in a sloping orientation to ensure proper sediment collection and drainage. It is suitable for use in residential and small commercial buildings where water quality may vary.

During installation, the filter is positioned so that the cleaning nut is oriented downward. This allows for efficient sediment accumulation and easy access during servicing. The compact dimensions make it suitable for tight spaces near boiler rooms or utility areas. The filter is designed to operate under a maximum working pressure of 1.0 MPa and can withstand temperatures up to 120°C, making it compatible with both cold and hot water supply lines.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

The filter should be installed vertically with the cleaning nut facing downward. Begin by ensuring the pipeline is clean and free of debris before fitting the filter. Use a suitable wrench to tighten the G3/4 threaded connection securely but avoid over-tightening, which may damage the brass body. After installation, check the alignment to confirm the filter is in a vertical position. A common mistake is improper orientation, which can lead to inefficient sediment collection and potential blockage of the filter mesh. Always verify the flow direction before final tightening to prevent reverse installation.

Compatibility and accessories

The Hydroland FS-20 is designed for direct installation on G3/4 threaded pipelines in domestic hot water systems. It is compatible with standard copper or plastic pipes using appropriate fittings. No additional accessories are required for basic installation. However, in complex systems involving multiple filtration stages or chemical treatment, it may be necessary to combine this filter with other components such as carbon filters or softeners. The model is specifically intended for mechanical filtration and does not require supplementary equipment for normal operation.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle of the oblique sediment filter relies on gravity-assisted sedimentation. As water flows through the filter body, larger particles settle at the bottom due to the angled design. The mesh captures finer particles while allowing clean water to pass through. The filter body is made of bronze, which offers good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. This material choice ensures durability in both cold and hot water environments. The filter integrates seamlessly into existing pipe networks and requires minimal space. The service life depends on the frequency of maintenance and the level of particulate contamination in the incoming water. High particulate load or acidic water conditions may reduce the interval between cleanings.

Service and operation

Regular servicing is essential to maintain the filter’s efficiency. The cleaning nut at the bottom of the filter allows for quick access to the sediment collection chamber. To perform a cleaning, loosen the nut using an appropriate wrench and remove the accumulated particles. After cleaning, re-tighten the nut securely to prevent leaks. There are no specified service intervals provided in the documentation, so maintenance should be carried out based on observed performance and visible sediment accumulation. During inspections, check for signs of corrosion or wear on the brass body and ensure the threaded connection remains intact. A clogged filter can lead to reduced flow and increased pressure drop in the system.

Frequently asked questions

Can the filter be used in a cold water supply line?
Yes, the filter can be used in both cold and hot water systems as long as the operating temperature remains within the specified range of 120°C.

Is the filter suitable for use in a closed-loop circulation system?
No, the filter is designed for open systems with continuous flow. It is not recommended for closed-loop systems where backflow or stagnant conditions may occur.

How is the filter cleaned?
The filter is cleaned by loosening the cleaning nut at the bottom of the unit and removing the collected sediment manually. No disassembly of the filter body is required.

Can the filter be installed horizontally?
No, the filter must be installed vertically with the cleaning nut facing downward to ensure proper sediment collection and drainage.
