Water Pitcher & Dispenser Filter Screen is used for retaining carbon granules and ion-exchange resin inside water pitcher cartridges and protecting dispenser taps from particles. ANSI 42 is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.

The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit ANSI 42.
