The 448-208 Inlet Screen is a 1/2" diameter, 100 mesh filter designed to trap debris and contaminants before they enter the pump system. It installs at the water or paint inlet port, providing essential protection for valves, pistons, and seals.
A clean inlet screen is critical for proper pump operation. When the screen becomes clogged with debris, flow restriction occurs, leading to cavitation, pressure drop, and potential pump damage. Regular inspection and replacement of this screen helps maintain peak performance and extends the life of your equipment.
| Debris filtration | Traps particles and contaminants before they enter the pump |
|---|---|
| Component protection | Prevents damage to valves, pistons, seals, and other internal parts |
| Flow maintenance | Ensures consistent fluid flow by preventing blockages |
| Visible clogging | Screen is blocked with debris, reducing flow |
|---|---|
| Physical damage | Torn, bent, or corroded screen mesh |
| Poor performance | Reduced flow, cavitation, or pressure drops traced to inlet restriction |
| Routine maintenance | Replace as part of scheduled maintenance intervals |

When replacing the inlet screen, these components are often inspected or replaced at the same time to ensure complete system protection.
Check for cracks or debris buildup that could restrict flow.
Worn hoses or gaskets can allow air into the system; replace if damaged.
If contamination was present, consider changing pump oil after screen replacement.
