IEC 61770 Washing Machine Inlet Hose Filter Specifications

Washing Machine Inlet Hose Filter is used for protecting the inlet solenoid valves of washing machines and dishwashers from sand, rust flakes and plumbing debris. IEC 61770 is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.

Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.
