Contamination is a common problem in fluid control applications. Safety screens are used to prevent contamination from reaching critical downstream components, which could cause a sudden failure. This contamination can be introduced anywhere, from assembly to maintenance. Therefore, safety screens are literally the last (and possibly first) line of defense against rogue contamination.
Safety screens from The Lee Company are designed to be effective, economical, and easy to install. They are constructed of stainless steel woven wire mesh, bonded together using a proprietary process that offers superior integrity and life. These screens are engineered to prevent a rupture and instead allow a gradual reduction in flow performance.
Safety screens are available in insert, cartridge, and press-in styles. Insert style screens feature an integral locking end that provides retention, cartridge-style screens are designed to be retained by the customer, and press-in style screens contain our unique barbed design which provides retention in plastic housings and fittings.
