NeoFit Acetal Gray 3-8 Push-in Filter Strainer 100 Mesh 150 Micron

Description

Product Overview

The NeoFit Acetal Gray 3-8 Push-in Filter Strainer is engineered for demanding industrial filtration tasks. Constructed from high‑grade acetal, the housing resists corrosion and mechanical wear, while the 100 mesh (150 micron) stainless steel screen captures fine particulates, protecting downstream equipment. The push‑in design utilizes a 3/8″ inlet/outlet connection, enabling rapid integration into existing fluid lines without the need for additional fittings. Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 145 psi and a temperature range from -20 °F to 150 °F, this strainer maintains performance across a broad spectrum of environments.

Key specifications include a compact footprint of 1.5 × 3.3 × 3.3 inches and a lightweight profile of 1.28 oz, making it suitable for space‑constrained installations. The detachable cap and body simplify routine cleaning and part replacement, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Designed to accommodate standard‑size tubing from multiple manufacturers, the strainer offers flexibility for retrofits and new system builds alike.

Usage

Ideal for water treatment plants, air handling units, and fluid processing lines, the NeoFit strainer excels in applications where debris removal is critical to system longevity. Its chemical and gas compatibility extends to a wide range of industrial fluids, including mild acids, bases, and non‑corrosive gases, provided the user consults the appropriate compatibility tables. The strainer’s robust construction makes it suitable for outdoor installations, where temperature fluctuations and exposure to the elements are common.

In manufacturing environments, the strainer can be positioned upstream of pumps, valves, and sensors to prevent clogging and maintain accurate flow measurements. For HVAC systems, it safeguards heat exchangers and coils from particulate buildup, enhancing heat transfer efficiency. The push‑in connection simplifies field installation, allowing technicians to secure the strainer with a single hand motion, reducing labor time and the potential for installation errors.
