Steel Screen Filter for Farm Irrigation Water Lines

Protect the downstream watering system

A steel screen filter captures particles larger than the installed screen openings as irrigation water passes through the element. It serves as a filtration stage before downstream valves, drippers or sprinklers. The red angled housing shown has a service chamber and pipe connections; the photo alone does not establish the installed screen grade or an automatic cleaning mechanism.

Confirm one defined configuration

The current option groups 2-inch, 3-inch and 4-inch sizes with a PN10 designation. Confirm which port size is supplied, its connection dimensions and the permitted operating conditions before ordering. Select the screen opening from the filtration requirement of the watering equipment. A mesh count and a micron value should only be compared using the actual screen specification.

Size the filter for the water load

Connection diameter alone does not establish usable flow capacity. Obtain the flow and pressure-loss data for the selected screen and body. Water carrying heavy sand may benefit from a suitable separator upstream; high organic loads can require a different filtration approach. Screens require maintenance, and no self-cleaning or backwash capability is assumed for this listing.

Keep the service chamber accessible

Leave room to remove and clean the element without dismantling adjacent pipework. Support the assembly and observe the specified flow direction. Flush new supply pipework before commissioning, check joints while running, and monitor pressure difference across the filter if the installation provides measurement points. Isolate and depressurize before opening the housing. Clean the screen using the method appropriate to the supplied element, inspect it for damage and reseal the chamber before returning the irrigation zone to service.
