Mesh Filter ORAS 249286 – spare part for faucets and plumbing fittings

Mesh Filter ORAS 249286 is a replacement plumbing component designed to screen debris and particles in water lines feeding faucets and fittings. As a fine mesh insert, it fits inside faucet inlets to protect cartridges and valves from sediment, improve flow reliability and reduce wear. The part is intended for use with compatible ORAS tap assemblies and as a routine maintenance spare to help maintain consistent water performance.

Advantages

The fine stainless mesh captures sand, rust flakes and other small particulates before they enter valve bodies, reducing the risk of clogging and extending the service life of internal components. Its compact design allows simple integration into existing inlet housings without modifying plumbing. The filter is a low-cost preventive element that contributes to steady flow rates and reduces the need for more frequent cartridge or valve replacements.

Suitable for

• Replacement of worn or clogged inlet filters in compatible faucets and fittings
• Preventive maintenance of tap cartridges and ceramic valves
• Use in household and light commercial water supply connections
• Filtering debris from mains water supply to protect downstream plumbing parts

Key specifications

• Type: fine mesh inlet filter for faucets
• Material: corrosion-resistant metal mesh and supporting frame
• Function: screens particulate matter from incoming water
• Installation: fits into standard faucet inlet housing of compatible tap models
• Intended use: spare part for routine maintenance and component protection

How to use

Shut off the water supply before servicing the faucet. Access the faucet inlet according to manufacturer instructions, remove the old or clogged filter and insert the mesh filter in the correct orientation inside the inlet housing. Reassemble the inlet parts and restore water supply, then check for leaks and normal flow. If flow remains restricted, inspect the mesh for trapped debris and clean or replace as necessary.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the mesh filter periodically as part of regular maintenance, especially in areas with hard water or visible sediment in the supply. Clean with a soft brush and clear water; avoid aggressive chemicals or tools that could deform the mesh. Replace the filter when damaged, heavily clogged or if flow issues persist despite cleaning.
