Filter Valve The filter valve provides inline filtration with integrated flow control to protect pumps, meters, and other components from debris. It combines a replaceable filter element with an isolation valve for straightforward maintenance and reliable operation in a range of systems. Key benefits Protect critical components: removes sediment and particulates before they reach pumps, meters, and actuators. Reduce maintenance costs: longer life for downstream devices and fewer unexpected downtime events. Simple inline installation: compact footprint and easy integration into existing piping. Easy serviceability: quick access to the filter element and fast isolation for replacement. Consistent flow and filtration: designed to maintain steady flow while filtering contaminants. What it does Inline filtration: captures particles from the fluid path to prevent contamination of downstream equipment. Integrated valve function: enables isolation for filter replacement or system maintenance without draining the entire line. Replaceable element: fieldserviceable filter element can be swapped with minimal tools. Compatibility, size, and materials Compatibility: designed for common piping standards and a wide range of fluids used in residential, commercial, and industrial systems. Size options: available in multiple connection sizes to fit typical pipelines; refer to model listings for exact dimensions and compatible fittings. Materials: offered in various material options to suit different environments; material choices are model dependent and selected to balance corrosion resistance, pressure, and temperature requirements. Performance: engineered for low pressure drop while providing effective filtration; performance depends on the chosen element and system conditions. Key specifications to confirm before Maximum operating pressure and temperature: verify against your system requirements for safe operation. Filtration rating: select a model with an element rating appropriate to the particulates in your fluid. Connection type and size: ensure the valve matches your piping standards and fitment needs. Element replacement interval: based on fluid quality and flow rate, plan for periodic maintenance. Maintenance and service filter elements on the recommended schedule or when pressure drop increases beyond your acceptance criteria. Use proper tools to isolate and remove the element; seals as needed to maintain a leak connection. Inspect the valve seals and body for signs of wear or corrosion during service. 23 practical use scenarios Domestic water line protection: installed on a main clean water line feeding a home filtration system or well pump to remove sediment before reaching the pump and downstream appliances. Irrigation system protection: placed upstream of a main irrigation line to filter soil and sand particulates, helping to protect emitters, controllers, and valves from clogging. Industrial process safeguarding: used in a process line to guard flow meters and instrumentation from particulate contamination, with the ability to isolate the filter quickly for maintenance without draining the entire line.
