Vu-Flow Stainless Steel Element for 1-1/2″ Filter 1000 Mesh

Description

Stainless steel mesh is a durable material perfect for cold water systems and applications using higher water temperatures or coarse particles. They are used for coarser sediment particulate where extremely dirty water is being filtered and a stronger filter is needed.

This is a genuine OEM replacement filter element in 1000 mesh for use in the following cold and hot water filter systems:

• 1-1/2″ Vu-Flow Screen Filter systems
• 1-1/2″ Rusco Spin Down Filter systems

Key Features:

• High temperature resistance
• High durability and versatility
• Washable and reusable
• Anti-corrosive properties
• Great for livestock and industrial uses

Vu-Flow and Rusco are both manufactured in Brooksville, Florida using the same parts but branded differently for area distribution.  They are fully interchangeable and compatible.  The base of this element is round with 4 protruding nubs.  It is not for use with Sand Separator or Sediment Trapper systems, for which the element is elevated by a riser attached to the flared element base.

Please note!  This element measures 8-1/8″ x 1-5/8″ and is used in a 1-1/2″ filter system.  How do you know what size filter system you have?  T-style filter systems are identified by the port size and not by the diameter or length of the filter element.  A 1-1/2″ system indicates that the top inlet/outlet installation port (the “tee”) is 1-1/2″ PVC.

Which size mesh is best for your use?  In general, use the coarsest screen deemed necessary to filter the material you want removed. This will result in longer runs between blow-downs.  The manufacturer’s recommendations are provided in the chart below:
