PASSIVE WATER-INTAKE SCREENS
Durable 304 Stainless Wedge Wire Passive Intake Screens
Our passive screens are constructed from stainless 3mm wedge-wire. As per the table below, there are varioius gap size options.
Standard connection sizes are listed in the table below but, we can provide any connection type you require.
Some of the finer mesh sizes can be paired with a foot valve in gravity feed situations to filter out fine particles. If a self cleaning mechanism is required, our KSR fixed screen, self-cleaning models come in similar sizes to the passive screens - so you can choose passive or self-cleaning, depending on your situation.
Damage Protection - Air Intake Hose Set-up
Larger models come standard with an air intake connection to prevent the them from collapsing under suction in situations where screens become completely blocked from silt or other debris.
The the 25mm female bsp air inlet is supplied with a screw-in bung but can be attached to a hose which sits above the water level. If the screen becomes too blocked, it will draw air into the suction line, shutting off the pump and preventing the screen from collapsing.
