Stainless steel wedge wire filter nozzles combine a continuous-slot cap with a mounting stem for media retention, underdrain collection and water distribution in treatment vessels.
Wedge wire screensShare a drawing, reference sample or application requirements to discuss the configuration.
The slotted cap provides media retention; the stem, washer and nut form the installation joint.
| Parameter | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Screening surface | Continuous-slot profile-wire cap | Slots measured on the working face. |
| Selected threaded cap: diameter × screen-body length | Ø50 × 40 mm | The two rows define a custom 316L threaded-cap construction in nominal metric dimensions. Screen-body length and overall nozzle length use separate axial datums; the drawing also defines the exposed slotted height, closed cap and plate seat. NPT values are nominal thread designations. Stem outside diameter, bore, thread engagement and plate projection follow the selected connection drawing. |
| Stem construction | Short / long / double-ended tubular | Select for plate and manifold layout. |
| Mounting connection | Threaded stem with retaining hardware | State thread designation and usable engagement. |
| Plate joint | Gasket, washer and nut arrangement | Record plate thickness and seating faces. |
| Flow arrangement | Service flow and reverse wash | Mark both directions on the assembly. |
| Metal grades | 304 / 316L | Specify cap, stem and joining parts separately. |
| Finished checks | Slot, thread fit, projection and alignment | Measure the assembled nozzle. |
| Overall nozzle length | 80 mm | The two rows define a custom 316L threaded-cap construction in nominal metric dimensions. Screen-body length and overall nozzle length use separate axial datums; the drawing also defines the exposed slotted height, closed cap and plate seat. NPT values are nominal thread designations. Stem outside diameter, bore, thread engagement and plate projection follow the selected connection drawing. |
| Nominal connection thread | 3/4 NPT / 1 NPT | The two rows define a custom 316L threaded-cap construction in nominal metric dimensions. Screen-body length and overall nozzle length use separate axial datums; the drawing also defines the exposed slotted height, closed cap and plate seat. NPT values are nominal thread designations. Stem outside diameter, bore, thread engagement and plate projection follow the selected connection drawing. |
Materials: 304 / 316L stainless steel for the cap and stem; gasket material selected for the liquid and cleaning chemistry.
The profile-wire cap retains the filter medium while liquid passes through the continuous slots. Its working surface, closed end and mounting neck form one fitted component. The nozzle is positioned on the filter plate or manifold at the media boundary.
Short-stem, long-stem and double-ended tubular constructions accommodate different plate and collection arrangements. The installation drawing records cap diameter, active height, stem projection and the plate thickness. Nuts and washers secure the stem; the specified gasket seals the plate joint.
Mark service and reverse-wash arrows on the assembly drawing. Cap slot width is selected for the retained media, while the stem bore and any distribution opening define a separate part of the hydraulic path. Nozzle quantity and spacing belong to the vessel layout.
Specify 304 or 316L stainless steel for the cap, stem and joining parts. Match the gasket to the water and cleaning chemistry. Keep the active slot area clear of the plate seat, retaining hardware and adjacent components so each nozzle has its intended exposed surface.
Check slot width on the working face, cap-to-stem alignment, thread fit, overall projection and the sealing seat. A replacement drawing includes the original plate opening and access below it. Package the slotted cap separately from loose nuts and washers to protect its profile wires.
| Construction | Function | Drawing detail | Inspection point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short stem | Compact plate mounting | Plate thickness and thread engagement | Seat and projection |
| Long stem | Extended collection or distribution connection | Below-plate clearance and stem length | Alignment and access |
| Double-ended tubular | Connects two defined flow interfaces | End positions, bore and mounting faces | Joint fit and closure |
| Slotted cap | Retains filter media | Slot width and exposed screen area | Working-face slots |
| Cap outside diameter (mm) | Screen-body length (mm) | Overall nozzle length (mm) | Nominal connection thread |

Slotted caps retain bed media while stems collect filtrate below the installation plate.
Nozzles separate resin from collection passages and connect to the vessel drainage layout.
Stem and cap arrangements connect the defined service and reverse-wash flow paths.
Include these details when discussing your requirements.
A filter nozzle has a slotted retaining surface. Its cap retains media while its stem carries the liquid path.
Cap diameter, active height, stem length, thread, plate thickness and the compressed sealing joint define the fit.
State the narrow working-face opening and its tolerance, together with the retained media and flow direction.
A long stem provides the required projection through the plate and into the collection or distribution space.
Identify cap and stem grades separately, then specify the gasket for the process liquid and cleaning chemistry.
