Manual screen filters for inline filtration
Manual screen filters are inline filtration components used as water screen filters, liquid strainers and pipeline filter components. They support water filtration systems, irrigation screen filter installations and industrial screen filtration systems where a removable screen, disc, cartridge or gauze element is required. Available product types include complete screen filter units, inline filters, strainer/filter assemblies, screen inserts, disc inserts, filter cartridges, modular screen cartridges, O-ring sets and pressure indicators.
Selection starts with the filter body, connection and element type. Manual mesh strainers and inline water strainers are available with metal, plastic and cast iron construction options, as well as replacement inserts for existing filter assemblies. The correct choice depends on the pipework connection, material compatibility, pressure rating, micron value and the type reference used by the existing filtration equipment.
Materials for manual inline screen filters
Material options include brass manual screen filters, stainless steel manual screen filters, plastic manual screen filters, cast iron manual screen filters and steel manual screen filters. Product details also include PVC-U transparent strainer/filter units, PP, PA and POM screen filters, fibreglass reinforced nylon screen filters, stainless steel 304 and 316 components, and cast iron GG 25 filters with epoxy coating.
Brass and stainless steel inline filters are commonly selected where female thread connections are required. Plastic options include male thread screen filters and PVC-U glue socket strainer/filter units. Cast iron options include DIN flange designs for larger inline installations. Matching the material to the surrounding pipework helps maintain consistency across the filtration assembly and avoids selecting a connection type that does not suit the installation.
Connection, pressure and micron choices
Manual inline screen filters are available with female thread, male thread, glue socket, DIN flange and flange connections. Size references include inch, millimetre and DN formats, with examples such as 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 1 1/2 inch, 2 inch, 3 inch, 25 mm, 75 mm, DN10 and DN50. Check both the nominal size and the connection style before choosing a screen filter unit or replacement insert.
Pressure ratings shown across the products include 6, 8, 10, 16 and 20 bar. Micron values include 50, 80, 100, 120, 130, 200, 300, 425, 500, 550, 800, 1000 and 1500 micron. Stainless steel 316 screen inserts, PVC gauze, stainless steel gauze and disc inserts are also present, so the element type must be matched to the required filter format as well as the target micron value.
Selecting screen inserts, cartridges and accessories
Filter screen assemblies often require the correct replacement part rather than a complete filter body. Screen inserts are available in stainless steel 316, including Manual, Mini Sigma, Scanaway, Super and Adir type references. Disc inserts and modular cartridges are also available, including Modular, Manual, Adir, TAD and TVD type references. Match the insert or cartridge to the existing filter type, size and micron value before ordering.
Accessories such as modular O-ring sets and pressure indicators can be relevant when maintaining manual screen filters. These components should be selected against the same type reference and size context as the filter assembly. For example, modular cartridge and O-ring references must correspond with the compatible modular filter body, while pressure indicator type references should match the relevant filter series.
Practical selection points for industrial filtration equipment
For industrial filtration equipment and water filtration systems, the main checks are material, connection, pressure rating, micron value and replacement compatibility. A threaded brass inline strainer is not interchangeable with a PVC-U glue socket strainer or a cast iron DIN flange filter. A screen insert, disc insert or cartridge must also match the filter body type and the required filtration level.
Where several manual screen filters appear suitable, compare the connection format first, then check the pressure rating and micron value. For existing installations, confirm the material, size reference and type code before selecting a replacement screen, disc or cartridge. This approach helps align manual screen filters, inline water strainers and related pipeline filter components with the surrounding system.
