Electric Kettle Spout Limescale Filter in 316L Stainless Steel (AISI 316L (1.4404)) is used for catching loose limescale flakes at the spout of electric and stovetop kettles so they do not end up in tea and coffee. The alloy gives superior resistance, including chlorides, brines, food CIP and mild acids and is essentially non-magnetic, with a practical service limit of approx. +550 °C continuous.

Ordering Electric Kettle Spout Limescale Filter in 316L Stainless Steel
- Mesh: 60-mesh stops flakes without slowing the pour; 80-mesh in very hard water.
- Shape & clip: Specify the spout curvature and clip or slot geometry.
- Material: SS316L tolerates repeated boiling and citric descaling.
Mistakes to Avoid with Electric Kettle Spout Limescale Filter
- Ignoring a scaled filter, which makes the kettle spit and pour slowly.
- Fitting too fine a mesh that blinds with scale within days.
