Product Description

100 Mesh Filter with Check Valve (FC100) – Spray Nozzle Filter

Instantly eradicate infuriating nozzle clogs, permanently stop chemical dripping, and guarantee a perfectly uniform, aggressive spray pattern with the highly advanced 100 Mesh Filter with Check Valve (FC100). In commercial pressure washing, agricultural chemical spraying, and heavy-duty carpet extraction, microscopic grains of sand and un-dissolved chemical powders are relentlessly pumped through the system. When these massive particulates slam into the tiny orifice of your spray tip, they block the flow instantly, ruining your spray pattern and causing massive equipment downtime. This elite spray nozzle filter acts as the ultimate, microscopic line of defense. Sitting directly behind the spray tip, the ultra-fine 100-mesh stainless steel screen physically traps the grit before it can ever choke your nozzle.

Beyond flawless filtration, this essential component features an integrated mechanical Check Valve (Non-Drip mechanism). When you release the trigger on your spray wand, the internal spring-loaded valve snaps shut instantly. This completely stops the remaining liquid in the heavy lance from dripping out onto the floor, preventing highly toxic chemicals from burning delicate carpets or leaving unsightly puddles on freshly cleaned concrete. Engineered for absolute commercial survival, the FC100 is manufactured with heavy-duty brass and stainless steel components to effortlessly withstand high hydraulic pressure and harsh alkaline degreasers. Protect your expensive equipment and upgrade your detailing precision with these critical pressure washer parts.

Who Is The 100 Mesh Filter with Check Valve Ideal For?

This FC100 filter delivers ultra-fine 100-mesh filtration and instant non-drip shutoff. It is highly recommended for:

Commercial Carpet Cleaners: Utilizing the spray nozzle filter behind their extraction wand tips to trap un-dissolved powdered detergents, while the check valve stops the wand from dripping hot chemical onto dry carpet when they walk across the room.
Agricultural & Weed Sprayers: Relying on the ultra-fine 100-mesh stainless steel screen to filter out thick mud and debris from dam water, preventing tiny weed-spraying nozzles from blocking in the middle of a massive paddock.
Commercial Exterior Cleaners: Integrating the filters into massive rotary surface cleaners to ensure that microscopic grains of sand never block the spinning high-pressure jets, completely preventing 'zebra striping' on driveways.
Automotive Detailers: Keeping authentic pressure washer parts on hand to upgrade their chemical foam cannons, ensuring a perfectly atomized, consistent fan of snow foam without random blockages.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

Ultra-Fine 100 Mesh Filtration: The ultimate blockage prevention. The incredibly fine stainless steel mesh physically screens out microscopic sand, rust flakes, and un-dissolved powder, guaranteeing your expensive nozzle tips never clog during a job.
Integrated Anti-Drip Check Valve: The absolute pinnacle of precision. A spring-loaded ball valve sits inside the filter. When you release the trigger, it snaps shut, stopping the water flow instantly and completely preventing the lance from dripping chemical everywhere.
Commercial Stainless Steel & Brass: Forged for survival. The mesh and internal components are highly resistant to the extreme friction of high-pressure water and completely immune to the corrosive effects of harsh alkaline degreasers and acids.
Maintains Flawless Spray Patterns: Even a tiny grain of sand sitting sideways in a nozzle will turn a perfect 40-degree fan into a messy, useless stream. This filter ensures 100% of the water hitting the nozzle is perfectly clean.
Universal Commercial Fitment: The FC100 is a standard industrial size, designed to drop perfectly into the nozzle body housings of almost all major commercial spray wands, surface cleaners, and agricultural booms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does '100 Mesh' mean?

Mesh refers to the number of tiny holes per linear inch of the screen. A 50-mesh filter has large holes and lets big sand through. A 100-mesh filter is 'Ultra-Fine'; the holes are incredibly small, making it perfect for trapping microscopic grit that blocks tiny spray nozzles.

How does the 'Check Valve' stop dripping?

Inside the filter is a tiny spring and a ball. When you pull the trigger, the water pressure pushes the spring open so you can spray. When you let go of the trigger, the pressure drops, and the spring instantly snaps the ball shut. This completely stops the leftover water in the steel pipe from dripping out onto the floor.

Why is it important to stop dripping for carpet cleaners?

If you are cleaning a white carpet, and you lift your wand to walk to the kitchen, the dirty brown water inside the wand will drip out of the nozzle all over the clean white carpet. The check valve completely prevents these catastrophic drips.

Where does this filter actually go?

It is installed directly behind the spray nozzle tip. You unscrew the brass or plastic nozzle cap at the very end of your spray wand, drop this filter in (usually with the mesh facing the incoming water), and screw the nozzle tip back over it.

Can I use this on a high-pressure concrete surface cleaner?

Yes! Many professional cleaners put these filters behind the nozzles on their spinning surface cleaners. It guarantees that if a tiny rock gets sucked through the pump, the filter will catch it before it jams the spinning rotor arm.

Will this filter restrict my water pressure?

If the filter is clean, it causes virtually zero pressure drop. However, because it is an ultra-fine 100-mesh screen, it will trap dirt very quickly. If the screen becomes completely covered in mud, it will restrict the flow, meaning you must clean it.

How do I clean the filter?

It is highly reusable. You simply unscrew your nozzle, pull the filter out, and rinse it aggressively under a tap or blow compressed air backwards through it to dislodge the trapped sand. Then drop it back into the wand.

Is it safe to use with harsh acidic chemicals?

The stainless steel mesh is highly resistant to standard commercial cleaning chemicals, including alkaline degreasers and mild acids used in carpet extraction. However, leaving it soaking in raw chlorine bleach for months may eventually corrode the internal spring.

Will this fit my domestic garden hose sprayer?

No. This is a highly specialized, tiny industrial component explicitly designed to fit inside the brass nozzle bodies of commercial pressure washer lances and professional agricultural spray booms.

What happens if I install it backward?

If you put it in backward, the water pressure will hit the wrong side of the check-valve spring, and absolutely no water will come out of your nozzle. The flow must go 'through' the mesh first, then push the check valve open.

How many filters do I get?

This specific listing is for ONE (1) individual filter and check valve unit. If your surface cleaner or spray boom has four nozzles, you must purchase four separate filters.

Do you offer trade pricing for carpet cleaners?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides highly competitive volume pricing and trade accounts for commercial carpet cleaners, agricultural sprayers, and pressure washing contractors ordering bulk replacement parts. Contact us to establish your account.
