Netafim Disc Filter 1 in MPT x MPT 140 Mesh 26 GPM Maximum Flow (00135-000070)

When a 1 Inch Irrigation Filter Needs 140 Mesh The choice against the 120 mesh body comes down to one number downstream. 140 mesh screens to roughly 115 micron on the black disc stack, against 130 micron for the red 120. That is a fifteen micron difference, and it only matters if your emitters, foggers or drip line ask for it. Flow range is unchanged at 5 to 26 GPM. The Cost of a Finer 140 Mesh Filter Finer is not automatically better and it carries a real cost in a working system. A 140 mesh filter traps more, so it loads faster. That means cleaning more often and giving up more pressure as it fills. If the smallest orifice downstream is comfortable at 130 micron, running 115 gives you extra maintenance for no benefit. Go finer when the emitter spec says so, or when the source water carries fine silt or algae. Also go finer if a coarser stack has been letting debris reach the drippers. The filtration itself is depth rather than surface. Grooved rings compress into a stack under working pressure. Water crosses the channels between them, so debris is caught through the column instead of blinding one face. Body and cover are reinforced polyamide rated to 140 psi, on 1 in MPT ports. It measures 6 x 9 x 5 in and weighs 2.5 lbs. Netafim builds the same platform in 3/4 in for 1 to 12 GPM and 1.5 in for larger flows. Key Features 140 mesh, roughly 115 micron: The black disc stack, one step finer than the 130 micron red 120 mesh. 5 to 26 GPM: The same flow range as the 120 mesh body. Only the stack changes. Finer costs maintenance: It loads faster and gives up more pressure. Go finer only when the emitter spec asks. 1 in MPT inlet and outlet: Standard male pipe thread on both ports. Depth filtration through the stack: Debris is caught through the column rather than blinding one surface. Reinforced polyamide, 140 psi: 6 x 9 x 5 in and 2.5 lbs, serviceable in place.
