Application Bulletin: Water Utilities

In recent decades, with California leading the way, most states have mandated that screens be installed on all vacuum and air release valve vent openings. Cost effective compliance can be achieved through the use of pipe-mounted suction screens. This is another step toward states and communities becoming more concerned with environmental health and welfare.

Ohio Fabricators Company manufactures these products which are available with either male or female thread style, in pipe sizes up to 3” npt in a variety of mesh sizes from 4 to 200 mesh. All have rust proof nylon resin connector ends for durability and stainless steel screens that are epoxied into the nylon with heavy duty, long lasting, industrial strength epoxy.

Ohio Fabricators has been manufacturing filters, strainers, and custom screens for over 75 years and all of our products are made in the United States.
