Water Angle Filter ARCO 1" Model 01832

The ARCO Water Angle Filter 1" Model 01832 is an inline mechanical sediment filter designed for installation at a 90° connection. It fits 1-inch threaded pipe connections and is intended to trap sand, rust, and other particulate matter before water reaches valves, meters, appliances or fixtures. The compact angle-mounted design reduces installation space requirements and positions the filter element for easy access during maintenance.

Advantages

The angle-mounted configuration provides a space-saving solution that integrates directly into corner or offset pipe runs. Mechanical filtration prevents larger particles from damaging downstream equipment and helps maintain flow efficiency. The filter's construction is suitable for both residential and commercial plumbing systems where a simple, reliable pre-filtration stage is needed. Installation and routine cleaning are straightforward due to the accessible housing and removable element.

Suitable for

• Pre-filtration ahead of shut-off valves, meters and pressure regulators
• Protection of household appliances such as washing machines and water heaters
• Plumbing systems in residential and light commercial buildings
• Supply lines where space is limited and a 90° connection is required

Key specifications

• Connection type: 1-inch female/male threaded angle fitting
• Mounting orientation: 90° (angle) inline installation
• Filtration type: mechanical sediment/particulate capture
• Typical applications: pre-filtration for valves, meters, appliances and fixtures
• Design: compact angle body for reduced installation footprint

How to use

Shut off the water supply before installation. Install the filter in the supply line at the required 90° connection, using appropriate sealing tape or jointing compound on threaded connections. Ensure the filter element faces the expected flow direction and that the housing is accessible for future maintenance. Periodically isolate the unit, relieve pressure, and remove the housing or element to inspect and clean accumulated sediment. Reassemble the housing securely and restore the water supply, checking for leaks.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, inspect the filter element at regular intervals based on local water quality; more frequent checks are advised in areas with heavy sediment. Use compatible thread sealants and follow local plumbing codes during installation. If fine particulate or chemical contamination is present, consider additional filtration stages such as finer mesh filters or activated carbon units downstream.
