The chain is fine...but I ordered the wrong size. Nine links of the chain I ordered equals six of the size I wanted. My error...
How can I straighten out the springs? I can't use them coil uo as is.

When debris, sand, or pipe scale clogs your irrigation lines, valves, or water supply systems, the damage can be costly and time-consuming to fix. DIYers, plumbers, and facility maintenance teams who need dependable inline filtration will find these PVC Y-strainer filter fittings an essential addition to any water circuit.
Each fitting is constructed from rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride) with a stainless steel mesh screen insert. Available in six DN pipe sizes — DN15 (20mm / ~¾"), DN20 (25mm / ~1"), DN25 (32mm / ~1¼"), DN32 (40mm / ~1½"), DN40 (50mm / ~2"), and DN50 (63mm / ~2½") — to match standard metric pipe schedules.
Typical applications include residential garden irrigation sediment filters, cold-water supply line protection, pond pump pre-filtration, and light-duty industrial water treatment circuits where a low-cost inline PVC strainer fitting is required.
The rigid PVC construction resists rust, scale, and chemical attack from chlorinated water, making it suitable for long-term outdoor and indoor plumbing use without degradation.
The internal stainless steel filter screen captures sand, sediment, and pipe debris before they reach downstream valves or appliances, extending the service life of your system.
Covers the most common metric pipe diameters from 20mm up to 63mm, so you can match the strainer precisely to your existing pipe schedule without reducers or adapters.
The angled Y-body allows the filter screen to be removed and cleaned without cutting the pipe or shutting down the entire system for extended periods.
The streamlined internal bore minimizes flow restriction, maintaining adequate water pressure downstream even when the screen is partially loaded with sediment.
Standard solvent-cement socket connections ensure a leak-free, permanent bond to PVC pipe using common PVC primer and cement — no special tools required.

Match the DN size to your pipe's nominal diameter: DN15 fits 20mm OD pipe, DN20 fits 25mm, DN25 fits 32mm, DN32 fits 40mm, DN40 fits 50mm, and DN50 fits 63mm. If you are unsure, measure the outside diameter of your pipe and compare it to these figures before ordering.
Yes. The PVC body is UV-tolerant for typical outdoor plumbing installations and will not rust or corrode when exposed to water, soil moisture, or chlorinated irrigation water. For prolonged direct UV exposure, consider wrapping the fitting or installing it in a valve box.
The stainless steel mesh insert is designed to withstand normal water pressure and resist corrosion from chlorinated or mildly acidic water. It captures sand, grit, and pipe scale particles. For highly aggressive chemical environments, verify chemical compatibility before installation.
The Y-body design includes a removable end cap or plug at the base of the Y branch. Shut off the water supply, release pressure, then unscrew the cap to slide out the mesh screen. Rinse the screen under running water or use a soft brush to remove debris, then reassemble.
This fitting is designed for standard metric PVC pressure pipe using PVC solvent cement. It is not recommended for CPVC or ABS pipe, as those materials require different solvent cements and may have different OD dimensions. Always use the correct primer and cement for PVC-to-PVC joints.
Working pressure varies by size and temperature. As a general guide, PVC fittings of this type are rated for PN10 (10 bar / ~145 psi) or PN16 (16 bar / ~232 psi) at 20°C (68°F). Pressure rating decreases at higher temperatures. Please refer to the product datasheet or contact us to confirm the rating for your specific size and application.
No special tools are required. You will need a pipe cutter or hacksaw to cut the pipe to length, PVC primer, and PVC solvent cement. Apply primer to both the pipe end and the socket, then apply cement and push the pipe firmly into the socket with a slight twist. Allow the joint to cure per the cement manufacturer's instructions before pressurizing.
