Hello,

I need to insert an in line oil filter before an EGR Valve. I currently have a Parker 6 C50X 90 degree straight thread (0-ring) elbow that screws into the valve body and attaches to a 3/8 tube. My customer wants to insert a screen into the fitting but I am afraid that the screen will become clogged and inhibit the oil flow. The valve uses the engine oil, around 400 F and operates at 16 psi.

Any thought as to what I can do or companies I can contact.

Thanks,
