Ashbys Inline Mesh Intake Filter (No Check Valve) – For V2 SteamMate, Hydro‑Force Revolution & Rotovac ShearDry (Rotovac RV‑1049) – Not Wand Jet Filter
Professional inline mesh intake filter designed for the solution intake hose on the V2 SteamMate, Hydro‑Force Revolution and Rotovac ShearDry. This is the Rotovac RV‑1049 equivalent, also known as the “Inline Filter Screen, 100 mesh”.
Its job is simple: protect your tool’s internal valve and spray system by catching fine debris before it enters the solution line. Because this filter has no check valve, it is ideal for tools that already have an internal anti‑drip mechanism — and it is not the same as a wand jet filter.
For reference, the wand jet filter looks almost identical but includes a built‑in check valve to prevent jet drip. You can see that version here: Jet Filter Check Valve for 2‑Jet Wand.
If you need the complete intake hose assembly for the V2 SteamMate — already fitted with an inline filter and both brass connectors — you can find it here: Intake Hose Complete for Portable V2 SteamMate.

FAQs
Is this the same as the wand jet filter?
No — the wand jet filter includes a check valve to prevent jet drip. This intake filter does not include a check valve. The wand version is here: Jet Filter Check Valve for 2‑Jet Wand.
What tools does this filter fit?
It fits the V2 SteamMate, Hydro‑Force Revolution and Rotovac ShearDry. It is the Rotovac RV‑1049 equivalent.
Why doesn’t this filter have a check valve?
These tools already have internal anti‑drip systems, so an external check valve is not required.
Is this a 100‑mesh filter?
Yes — it uses a 100‑mesh stainless screen, matching Rotovac’s specification.
Can I use this on a wand?
No — wands require a filter with a built‑in check valve to prevent jet drip. Use the wand jet filter instead.
Do you sell the complete intake hose for the V2 SteamMate?
Yes — the full hose assembly, already fitted with an inline filter and brass connectors, is available here: Intake Hose Complete for Portable V2 SteamMate.
