Common Questions

What mesh or screen size does it come with?

LF27-60 1/2 ships with a 60 mesh 304 Stainless Steel screen (60 openings per linear inch). The screen is called out by the number in the model code.

Can I get a finer or coarser screen?

Yes. Watts builds this body with a range of screens and encodes the choice in the model number, so a finer or coarser screen is a different part number rather than an accessory. This one is 60 mesh. Finer screens catch smaller particles but clog faster and cost more pressure drop, so size the screen to the debris you actually have.

Does it have a blowoff / blowdown port?

No. This model has a solid retainer cap, so cleaning means removing the cap and lifting out the screen. If you want to blow the strainer down in place, order the tapped-cap version of this body instead.
