Amiad 2" Super "T" Filters

Build your high-pressure pipe-threaded head assembly safely.

Step 1: Prep the Threads
Because this filter utilizes 2" Pipe Threads (MPT), you must apply several wraps of Teflon tape to both the inlet and outlet threads to ensure a watertight seal. Do not use liquid pipe dope or over-tighten.

Step 2: Install the Filter
Thread the Amiad filter into your PVC manifold. Because it is rated for constant pressure, you have the flexibility to install it either upstream (before) or downstream (after) of your automated valves. Ensure the directional flow arrow points downstream.

Step 3: Connect Pressure Gauges (Recommended)
Use a 1/4" female coupler to attach 1/4" pressure gauges to the ports on top of the filter. This allows you to monitor the pressure differential; when the outlet pressure significantly drops compared to the inlet, it's time to clean the screen.

Step 4: Routine Flushing
Periodically open the flush valve at the bottom of the filter while the system is actively running and pressurized to quickly blow out trapped sediment without unscrewing the massive canister.

Can I leave this filter under constant pressure?
Yes! Unlike many standard irrigation filters, the Amiad Super T series is built and heavily reinforced to withstand constant pressure up to 145 PSI.

This means you can safely install it directly onto your mainline before your automated timer or irrigation valves, protecting the entire valve manifold from debris.

Should I choose the 155 or 200 Mesh?
The mesh number refers to the number of holes per square inch. A 155-mesh screen is the standard recommendation and provides excellent protection for most punch-in drip emitters, soaker hoses, and micro-sprinklers.

A 200-mesh screen is finer and catches smaller particles. It is highly recommended for highly sensitive watering devices like drip tape, or if your water source contains very fine sand and silt.

Why should I choose the "Super T" over standard 2" filters?
The "Super T" model features an extended canister body that houses a significantly larger screen.

This provides a massive 108 square inches of filtering area, which means it can hold significantly more debris than standard filters. This drastically reduces the frequency of manual cleanings, saving you serious labor on large properties.

How do the pressure gauges work?
By installing a gauge on both the inlet and outlet ports on top of the filter, you can monitor the pressure drop. When the screen becomes clogged with dirt, the outlet pressure will be noticeably lower than the inlet pressure, alerting you that it is time to flush the filter.

The 1/4" female couplers and gauges are sold separately.

How should I prepare my Amiad filter for spring watering?
As you set up your system for spring, ensure the water is turned off, unscrew the main canister, and inspect the stainless steel screen for any winter scale or damage.

Clean it thoroughly, or install a fresh replacement screen if necessary. Ensure the O-ring is properly seated and lubricated before hand-tightening the canister back on, then run the system to verify there are no leaks.
