The drip Y-filter is designed specifically for drip and sprinkler systems. It removes debris from the water supply and minimizes clogging in drip emitters, micro-sprinklers, and other small orifice sprinklers. The inlet and outlet are standard 3/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) for easy connection to valves, pressure regulators, and Schedule 40 fittings. The 150-mesh filter ensures removal of even very fine particles. It uses a Y geometry which makes cleaning the filter as simple as removing the flush port cap, turning the water on to flush out debris, and then replacing the cap. For drip applications, use the filter in combination with a 25 PSI hose thread pressure regulator (sold separately). For outdoor use with cold water only.
