The Rain Bird QKCHK100 Quick-Check basket filter is a 1-inch inline screen filter designed for residential and light commercial drip and micro‑irrigation systems. Its clear diagnostic cap displays a green bubble during normal operation and switches to red when debris accumulation causes pressure loss, so you know exactly when to clean the screen.

  • Diagnostic indicator: Clear polyurethane window with green/red bubble signals when the filter requires cleaning for reliable system performance.
  • Flow & pressure: Diagnostic flow 3.0–20.0 GPM; operating range suited to 3–20 GPM systems. Inlet pressure 15–150 PSI; temperature tolerance up to 150°F (66°C).
  • Durable construction: Impact‑resistant glass‑filled polypropylene body, glass‑filled nylon cap and stainless steel screen element for long service life.
  • Filtration: Supplied with a 150‑mesh (≈100 µm) stainless steel screen; replacement mesh sizes available to match water quality and emitter requirements.
  • Easy maintenance: Threaded "jar-top" cap, recessed basket and No‑Spill design allow tool‑free cleaning without debris re-entering the line.
  • Size & rating: Compact inline design for 1" fittings; approximate dimensions 6.7" L × 3.5" W × 7" H and rated up to 150 PSI with Buna‑N o‑rings.

The QKCHK100 reduces routine service time and protects drip emitters from clogging. Install inline with standard 1-inch fittings; if emitters are located more than 5 feet above the filter or a pressure‑regulating unit, install a downstream check valve. Replacement screens and caps are available as service parts.
