Zilmet zmf-100 Magnetic Filter Dirt Strainer 1 Inch Npt

Product Description

The ZILMET zmf-100 is a magnetic filter and dirt strainer designed for residential hydronic systems, including boilers, heat pumps, and chilled water applications. It combines magnetic separation with mechanical straining to remove ferrous particles, sludge, and debris from circulating water. This dual-action filtration protects system components from fouling and wear, extending equipment life and maintaining efficient heat transfer. The unit accepts 1-inch NPT and 1-inch press connections, offering installation flexibility for a range of piping configurations. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the typical installers.

The zmf-100 is suited for residential hydronic heating and cooling systems where suspended solids and magnetic particles can accumulate over time. Common installation points include the return line near boilers, heat pump air handlers, and chilled water loops. Its compact form factor makes it practical for both new construction and retrofit applications in mechanical rooms or tight utility spaces where inline filtration is needed to protect pumps, valves, and heat exchangers.

Key Features

• Dual-action filtration: magnetic capture of ferrous particles plus mechanical dirt straining
• Dual connection type support: 1-inch NPT and 1-inch press fittings
• Suitable for boilers, heat pumps, and chilled water system applications
• Designed for streamlined installation and routine service access
• Provides whole-system protection against sludge and debris fouling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline magnetic filter and dirt eliminator for residential hydronic systems, compatible with boilers, heat pumps, and chilled water system piping using 1-inch NPT or 1-inch press connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the system manufacturer guidelines. Shut off system water flow and relieve system pressure before installing or servicing the filter. The unit should be oriented per the flow-direction markings on the body to ensure proper filtration function. Periodic service to purge captured magnetic debris and clean the strainer basket is required to maintain system performance.
