Inline filter 1/2" - code: 17.179.12 - Osculati

1/2″ Inline Filter Osculati – code 17.179.12

The 1/2″ inline filter Osculati (supplier code 17.179.12) is an accessory designed for direct insertion on the suction or delivery line, useful to reduce the risk of clogging due to small debris and residues (for example hair). It is a practical solution for those who want to keep the circuit cleaner and simplify control operations during routine maintenance.

The’transparent plastic casing allows a quick visual check of the filter's condition without having to dismantle the system for a preliminary inspection. For this reason, it is particularly suitable in technical contexts where accessibility is limited and where it is useful to quickly identify any accumulations.

Features and construction details

This filter is designed for inline use on systems with nominal pipe size 1/2″. The configuration with transparent body is aimed at ease of use and immediate inspection.

Key points

• Type: filter online for installation on the circuit.
• Function: helps to prevent blockages caused by debris and hair.
• Transparent body: casing in transparent plastic for easier visual inspection.
• Hose fitting: 5/8” (15.8 mm) (given by product table).
• Identification: Osculati 17.179.12.

Indicative compatibility (as per original description)

The manufacturer's description indicates it as particularly suitable for piston pumps type Par, Fiamma, FLOJET, Shurflo and similar. When choosing, it is still advisable to verify the match with the hose diameter and with the fittings present on your own system.

Typical applications (nautical and onboard plant engineering)

In nautical and plant engineering contexts, an inline filter is often used to protect downstream components (pumps and accessories) from impurities that can accumulate over time. This model, thanks to its transparent structure, is suitable when frequent and quick inspection of the circuit status is desired.

Where it can be useful

• Power lines of pumps and fluid transfer systems where small residues may be present.
• Systems where it is important to reduce blockages and maintain a more regular flow.
• Contexts where maintenance benefits from an visual inspection immediate filter check.

Operational advantages

Why insert it inline

• Reduction of clogging risk: helps retain debris that could cause blockages.
• Simplified inspection: the transparent plastic allows quick assessment if dirt or buildup is present.
• More organized maintenance: a dedicated filter point makes it easier to identify the cause of any flow rate drops or irregularities.
• Targeted accessory for systems with pumps: indicated by the manufacturer for use with plunger pumps and models common in the sector.

Usage and installation notes

For a correct installation, it is important to consider the circuit configuration and compatibility with pipes and fittings. The filter is designed to be inserted online, so it must be placed in the designated pipe section, respecting the system logic and ensuring proper fastening.

Practical indications

• Check diameters: check that the hose fitting 5/8” (15.8 mm) is consistent with the pipe used.
• Accessible positioning: choose a point where visual inspection and possible cleaning are easy to perform.
• Periodic checks: in the presence of residues or frequent use, it is useful to regularly check the filter's condition.
• Operations on the system: before any operation, secure the line and work with the system off.

Note

The information provided comes from the description available and the tabular data associated with the code 17.179.12. If your system has different fittings or configurations, it is advisable to compare the pipe measurements and line layout before purchase.
