Commercial-Grade High-Capacity Filtration for Large Systems
The Amiad 2″ Super “T” Filter provides a virtually indestructible, professional-grade solution for protecting massive drip irrigation and sprinkler systems from severe debris. Engineered to handle extreme constant pressure situations up to 145 PSI, you can safely install this heavy-duty filter directly onto your mainline before your automated timers or irrigation valves without any risk of the canister stretching or bursting. Featuring standard 2″ Male Pipe Threads (MPT) on both the inlet and outlet, it integrates seamlessly into large agricultural and commercial PVC manifolds.
What sets the “Super T” apart is its extraordinarily large stainless steel screen. Boasting 108 square inches of filtering area, it holds significantly more dirt and sediment than standard models, allowing for much longer intervals between cleanings while effortlessly sustaining flow rates up to 110 Gallons Per Minute (GPM). For ultimate system monitoring, the T-style body features top-mounted pressure gauge ports. By installing 1/4″ pressure gauges (using a 1/4″ female coupler), you can visually track the pressure differential to know exactly when the screen needs to be flushed via the convenient bottom drain valve.
- Massive Filtering Area: The “Super” double-sized screen (108 sq. in.) drastically reduces maintenance frequency, making it ideal for water sources heavy with sediment.
- Extreme Pressure Rating: Safely handles continuous mainline pressure up to an incredible 145 PSI for true constant-pressure installations.
- Integrated Gauge Ports: Take the guesswork out of maintenance by installing pressure gauges on either side of the filter to instantly identify when the screen is clogged.
- High-Capacity Flow: Expertly handles massive water volumes up to 110 GPM to feed expansive agricultural row crops and commercial landscapes.
- Easy Maintenance: Includes a convenient bottom drain valve for instant, under-pressure flushing without having to unscrew the main canister.

Build your high-pressure pipe-threaded head assembly safely.
Step 1: Prep the Threads
Because this filter utilizes 2″ Pipe Threads (MPT), you must apply several wraps of Teflon tape to both the inlet and outlet threads to ensure a watertight seal. Do not use liquid pipe dope or over-tighten.
Step 2: Install the Filter
Thread the Amiad filter into your PVC manifold. Because it is rated for constant pressure, you have the flexibility to install it either upstream (before) or downstream (after) of your automated valves. Ensure the directional flow arrow points downstream.
Step 3: Connect Pressure Gauges (Recommended)
Use a 1/4″ female coupler to attach 1/4″ pressure gauges to the ports on top of the filter. This allows you to monitor the pressure differential; when the outlet pressure significantly drops compared to the inlet, it’s time to clean the screen.
Step 4: Routine Flushing
Periodically open the flush valve at the bottom of the filter while the system is actively running and pressurized to quickly blow out trapped sediment without unscrewing the massive canister.
