ARCO filter sediment trap 6/4" angled model 01834

ARCO filter sediment trap 6/4" angled model 01834 is an angled sediment filter designed for 6/4" plumbing connections. It captures particulate contaminants such as sand, rust and other solids to protect downstream valves, water meters and appliances. The angled body provides a compact footprint for installation in tight spaces, while a removable bowl allows straightforward cleaning and routine maintenance without disassembling the pipeline.

Advantages

The angled design reduces the overall installation length and facilitates fitting in confined areas. A removable bowl enables fast access for flushing or cleaning collected sediment, minimizing service time. Durable materials and a straightforward seal arrangement provide reliable performance in residential and light-commercial water systems. The filter operates passively and requires no power, ensuring continuous protection with minimal user intervention.

Suitable for

• Pre-filtration before water meters and pressure regulators
• Protection of household appliances such as boilers and washing machines
• Installation in narrow pipe runs or compact utility spaces
• Light-commercial plumbing systems requiring basic sediment removal

Key specifications

• Connection size: 6/4" compatible plumbing thread
• Orientation: angled body for compact installation
• Maintenance: removable bowl for cleaning and flushing
• Application: sediment removal for cold water supply lines
• Construction: corrosion-resistant materials suitable for potable water systems

How to use

Install the angled sediment trap in the pipeline with the flow direction matching the arrow on the body. Tighten connections using appropriate fittings and sealing materials for the 6/4" connection. Periodically close the downstream valve or isolate the section if required, then open the bowl drain or remove the bowl according to the manufacturer’s instructions to flush out or remove accumulated sediment. Refit the bowl and restore normal water flow after ensuring seals are seated correctly.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, inspect the bowl and sealing surfaces during routine maintenance and replace worn seals as necessary. Avoid using the filter with hot water above the temperature rating specified by the system design; when installed on potable water, follow local plumbing codes. If heavy sediment is present, increase inspection frequency or install a coarse pre-filter upstream.
