How to Specify Refrigerator & Ice Maker Inlet Valve Screen

  • Fitting size: 1/4 in or 3/8 in compression inlet.
  • Mesh: 60–80 mesh stops grit without restricting flow.
  • Material: Brass or SS304.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304, brass; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

  • Flush the supply line into a bucket before connecting a new valve.
  • Shut off the water before removing the valve screen.

Common Mistakes

  • Removing the screen to fix slow ice production, which exposes the valve seat to grit.
  • Over-tightening compression fittings, which crushes the screen cup.

When Refrigerator & Ice Maker Inlet Valve Screen Is Not the Right Choice

Not a drinking-water filter; taste and contaminant reduction need a separate cartridge.
