Rain Bird x14140 Basket Filter Pressure Regulator 40 Psi

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD x14140 is a 1-inch basket filter with a built-in pressure regulator designed for drip and micro-irrigation systems. It combines filtration and pressure regulation into a single inline unit, reducing component count and simplifying field installation. The filter uses a 200-mesh, 75-micron stainless steel screen that removes particulate matter before it reaches emitters and drip lines. The integrated regulator holds output pressure at 40 psi, protecting downstream components from pressure spikes. Licensed irrigation contractors and plumbers install this unit at the head of drip zones or at individual lateral connections.

This filter-regulator combination is suited for residential and light commercial drip irrigation zones where water quality or supply pressure would otherwise require separate filtration and regulation hardware. It threads directly into standard 1-inch female NPT fittings, making it a straightforward addition to new installations or retrofit work. The 40 psi regulated output is appropriate for most drip emitter and micro-spray products that require low, consistent operating pressure. Its compact, single-body design reduces the number of connection points in the line.

Key Features

• 200-mesh stainless steel screen filters to 75 microns, protecting emitters from clogging debris
• Built-in pressure regulator maintains 40 psi output without a separate regulator fitting
• Filter surface area is 40 percent larger than standard basket filters, extending the interval between cleanings
• No-Spill design prevents captured debris from falling back into the filter body during screen removal and cleaning
• Threaded top with O-ring seal allows quick screen removal and reinstallation without tools
• Stainless steel screen resists corrosion and withstands repeated cleaning cycles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline filter-regulator for 1-inch drip and micro-irrigation systems requiring 40 psi regulated pressure.

Installation Notes

A licensed irrigator or plumber should shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before installing or servicing this unit. Thread the filter into a 1-inch NPT connection with flow direction following the arrow molded on the body. Use PTFE thread tape on male NPT connections and do not overtighten plastic fittings. To clean the screen, depressurize the line, unthread the top cap, and remove the stainless steel screen for rinsing without inverting the body.
