Washing Machine Inlet Hose Filter in 304 Stainless Steel (AISI 304 (1.4301)) is used for protecting the inlet solenoid valves of washing machines and dishwashers from sand, rust flakes and plumbing debris. The alloy gives good general corrosion resistance in atmosphere and fresh water and is essentially non-magnetic (annealed), with a practical service limit of approx. +450 °C continuous.
