Semi-Self-Cleaning Debris Protection for Hardwired Systems
The 3/4″ Y Screen Filter (FYSC34) utilizes innovative “Spin Clean” technology to provide superior, low-maintenance protection for your hard-plumbed drip irrigation or sprinkler system. Featuring standard 3/4″ Male Pipe Threads (MPT) on both the inlet and outlet, this robust filter integrates seamlessly into PVC manifolds and connects perfectly with standard irrigation valves. What sets it apart is its unique internal design: incoming water is swirled, actively forcing sediment and debris down into the bottom basin rather than allowing it to cake onto the screen. This semi-self-cleaning action keeps your delicate drip emitters and micro-sprayers free of clogs longer than standard Y-filters.
Designed to handle flow rates up to 9 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) at a maximum of 80 PSI, this filter is equipped with a highly durable 150-mesh stainless steel screen. When the bottom basin eventually fills with captured debris, maintenance is incredibly fast and simple—just turn the convenient ball valve at the bottom to flush the sediment out instantly while the system is pressurized. For a complete and fail-safe head assembly, we highly recommend pairing this screen filter with a compatible 3/4″ pipe thread pressure regulator. Please note: To function correctly, this filter must be installed facing downward, and it is not rated for constant pressure.
- Semi-Self-Cleaning Action: The unique swirling design deposits debris into the bottom basin instead of sticking to the screen, drastically reducing maintenance frequency.
- Instant Ball Valve Flush: A highly convenient drain valve at the bottom allows you to blow out accumulated sediment in seconds without unscrewing the canister.
- Standard Pipe Threads: Features 3/4″ Male Pipe Threads (MPT) for easy, watertight integration directly into standard PVC pipe manifolds.
- 150 Mesh Stainless Screen: Comes with a durable, long-lasting stainless steel filter screen perfectly sized to protect drip emitters and soaker hoses.
- Reliable Flow Capacity: Smoothly handles flow rates up to 9 GPM, making it perfectly suited for standard garden beds, greenhouses, and row crops.

Build your pipe-threaded drip irrigation head assembly safely.
Step 1: Prep the Threads
Because this filter utilizes Pipe Threads (MPT), you must apply 2 to 3 wraps of Teflon tape to both the inlet and outlet threads to ensure a watertight seal. Do not use liquid pipe dope.
Step 2: Attach to Your Valve (Crucial Orientation)
Thread the inlet of the filter directly into the downstream side (outlet) of your automated irrigation valve. Important: The filter must be installed facing downward, and the directional flow arrow must point away from the incoming water source.
Step 3: Add a Pressure Regulator
Thread a compatible 3/4″ pipe-threaded pressure regulator onto the outlet of the filter, followed by your tubing adapter to transition into your poly mainline.
Step 4: Routine Flushing
Periodically open the ball valve at the bottom of the filter while the system is actively running and pressurized to quickly blow out any sediment trapped in the lower basin.
