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.
What IEC 61770 Means for Washing Machine Inlet Hose Filter
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit IEC 61770. 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.

When Washing Machine Inlet Hose Filter Is Not the Right Choice
Not a softener or a sediment cartridge for very dirty well water.
