Ez-flo Eastman 70143 Fill Hose Screen Coarse Mesh

Product Description

The EZ-FLO EASTMAN 70143 is a coarse-mesh fill hose screen designed for use in clothes washer water supply connections. The screen filters debris from the incoming water line before it reaches the washing machine's internal components, helping protect inlet valves from sediment and particulate buildup. A hose washer is included and attached, providing a sealing surface at the hose fitting. Plumbers and appliance service technicians typically install this screen during washing machine hookups or as a replacement when an existing screen is fouled or damaged.

This screen fits into the threaded end of a clothes washer fill hose and installs at the point where the hose connects to the machine's water inlet. It is suited for residential laundry applications. The coarse mesh construction allows adequate flow while catching larger particles that can cause premature wear or clogging at the inlet valve. The attached hose washer eliminates the need to source a separate washer during installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a plumber or qualified appliance technician. Before servicing the fill hose connection, shut off both the hot and cold water supply valves feeding the washing machine. Inspect the hose threads and inlet port for damage before seating the new screen and washer. Hand-tighten the hose connection first, then snug with pliers — do not overtighten, as the hose washer provides the seal.
