RON-VIK

The RON-VIK nylon inline strainers listed by 3G Electric use a 304 stainless steel mesh screen with 0.0117 in (approximately 300 microns) openings. This mesh size is consistent across the models shown, including those with 1/4 in, 3/8 in, 1/2 in, 1 in, and 1 1/2 in NPT connections. The screen is replaceable, allowing maintenance without replacing the entire strainer body. The 0.0117 in opening is suitable for capturing common particulate contaminants in water and light oil lines while maintaining adequate flow. For applications requiring finer or coarser filtration, alternative screen sizes may be available; consult 3G Electric with your specific requirement.

The RON-VIK nylon inline strainers available from 3G Electric are rated for a maximum operating pressure of 100 psi. This rating applies to the nylon body and bowl construction. Operating pressure should not exceed this limit. For systems with higher pressures, alternative strainer constructions (such as metal-bodied models) may be required. Always verify compatibility with the specific fluid, temperature, and pressure conditions of your application. The pressure rating is independent of connection size; all listed NPT sizes share the same 100 psi maximum.

RON-VIK nylon inline strainers are available with either fluoroelastomer (FKM) or EPDM seals, depending on the model. Fluoroelastomer seals offer broad chemical compatibility, including with many oils, fuels, and solvents, and are suitable for higher-temperature applications. EPDM seals are often used with water, steam, and some dilute acids and bases, but are not recommended for petroleum-based fluids. The seal material is specified in the part number and product description. When ordering, confirm the seal material matches the fluid in your system to avoid premature seal degradation.

Yes, certain RON-VIK nylon inline strainer models feature a clear nylon bowl that allows visual inspection of captured debris without removing the strainer from the line or disassembling it. This is useful for maintenance scheduling and troubleshooting. Models with a white nylon bowl do not offer this visual inspection capability. The clear bowl is made of nylon and shares the same 100 psi maximum operating pressure rating. When replacing a white bowl with a clear bowl, ensure the part number corresponds to the desired configuration.

RON-VIK nylon inline strainers are available with NPT threaded connections in sizes including 1/4 in, 3/8 in, 1/2 in, 1 in, and 1 1/2 in. The connection size determines the flow capacity and the size of the piping interface. All sizes use the same 0.0117 in mesh screen and are rated to 100 psi maximum operating pressure. When selecting a strainer, choose a connection size that matches your existing pipe thread. NPT threads require a sealant or tape for proper sealing. 3G Electric stocks multiple SKUs across these sizes.

RON-VIK nylon inline strainers are compatible with a range of fluids, including water, light oils, and other liquids that do not adversely affect nylon, 304 stainless steel, and the specified seal material. The nylon body and bowl are not recommended for use with strong acids, bases, or solvents that may degrade nylon. The seal material further defines compatibility: fluoroelastomer seals handle many hydrocarbons and solvents, while EPDM seals are suited for water and steam. Always verify chemical compatibility using a compatibility chart or consult 3G Electric for guidance. Temperature limits also apply and should be confirmed for the specific model.
