Abstract

A filter for a valve inlet is drawn into a flat-bottomed cup shape from a blank of fine mesh woven screen and formed with an outwardly extending mounting flange of material folded back on itself. The region of the cup-shape proximate the flange is enlarged to a predetermined diameter for closely interfitting the flow passage into which the cup-shaped member is installed.
