Overview
In-line "Y" strainer for the HydraMaster RX-20 rotary extractor. HydraMaster part number 000-049-033, listed in the parts list as Filter, In-Line, "Y".
It sits in the solution line and catches grit before it reaches the jets. A blocked jet shows up as a dry stripe in the cleaning pattern, and the strainer is the cheapest place to stop that happening.
Specifications
- Ports: 1/4" female to 1/4" female
- HydraMaster part number: 000-049-033
- One fitted per machine
Maintenance
Clean the screen whenever jet pattern or pressure drops away. Replace it if the screen is torn — a torn screen passes grit straight through to the jets.
Which RX-20 does this fit?
HydraMaster has built the RX-20 since the 1980s and there have been many revisions. Carpet Cleaners Warehouse supplies the current machine, the RX20 NEXTGEN, model 700-041-036 (CE, 230 V, 50 Hz).
The current owner's manual, MAN-47328 Rev. B (March 2019), covers models 700-041-030, -031, -032, -035, -036, -330, -331, -332, -333, -334 and -407. Earlier machines are covered by their own editions, going back to c. 1987.
Before ordering, check the model number on your machine's data plate. If you are unsure, contact us with the number and we will confirm the correct part.
Confirmed against the HydraMaster parts lists in the 2011 owner’s manual (models 700-041-006 and -007) and the 2014 edition (700-041-006, -007, -014, -316, -318 and -322).
Important — it is not listed in the 2019 NEXTGEN parts lists. We have read MAN-47328 Rev. B in full and the in-line “Y” filter does not appear in any assembly for models 700-041-030 through -407. That is not proof it will not fit, but HydraMaster no longer specifies it for those machines. If you are ordering for a NEXTGEN, contact us before you buy.

Frequently asked questions
How many do I need?
One per machine.
Can I clean it rather than replace it?
Yes, until the screen tears. A torn screen passes grit straight through to the jets, which is the thing you fitted it to prevent.
Is it listed for the NEXTGEN?
It appears in the 2011 and 2014 parts lists and in none of the 95 pages of the 2019 manual. Absence from a parts list is not proof it will not fit, but ask us before ordering for a NEXTGEN.
