Rain Bird x14052 Wye Filter 200 Mesh 1 Inch

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD x14052 is a wye-style inline filter designed for irrigation and water distribution systems. It features a 200-mesh stainless steel screen that captures fine particulates and debris before they reach downstream components such as drip emitters, spray heads, and valves. The wye body configuration allows easy access to the filter screen for cleaning and maintenance without full line disassembly. This filter is sized for 1-inch pipe connections, making it suitable for mainline and lateral line installations in residential and light commercial irrigation systems. Installation is handled by irrigation technicians and landscape contractors.

The x14052 is suited for drip irrigation, micro-spray, and overhead sprinkler mainlines where sediment and particulate contamination can clog emitters or damage valve seats. Its wye configuration is a standard choice for filter placement at zone inlets or at the head of irrigation laterals. The 200-mesh rating targets fine sand, silt, and organic debris common in surface water and reclaimed water supplies. It performs well in both pressurized municipal supply lines and pump-fed systems.

Key Features

• 200-mesh screen filters fine particulates to protect downstream irrigation components
• Wye-body design allows screen removal and cleaning without cutting the line
• 1-inch connection size fits standard mainline and lateral pipe fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline wye filter for 1-inch irrigation mainline and lateral line installations typical of residential and light commercial drip and spray irrigation systems.

Installation Notes

Irrigation technicians should shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or servicing this filter. The wye orientation should be installed with the filter cap pointing downward to allow gravity-assisted sediment collection and easier screen removal. Follow local plumbing and irrigation codes for inline filter placement, particularly on reclaimed water systems. Inspect and flush the screen periodically based on water quality and system usage.
