Part number 710-046 is an inlet screen. This is a fine mesh filter installed at the fluid inlet of the pump on compatible airless sprayers, designed to catch debris and prevent contaminants from entering the pump assembly. It is compatible with a vast range of models including Impact 1040; Impact 1140 I and IA; Impact 1140 operation; Impact 1140 service; impact X 410; impact X 440; impact X 540i; Performer 640 i; Performer 1140 ix; Power Beast; PowerBeast; PowrLiner 3000/3500s series; PowrLiner 3500 72v; PowrLiner 4500 service; PowrLiner 5500; PowrLiner 8900 XLT SP; PowrTwin 6900/12000 Plus DI; PowrTwin 12000 GHD/XLT DI/GHD; RentSpray 600/600 Impact/650/Plus; and Rentspar 700. Regular cleaning or replacement of this screen is essential for pump protection.

Part number 710-046 is an inlet screen. This component is a cylindrical or conical fine-wire mesh filter that is installed inside the fluid inlet passage of the sprayer's pump, typically where the suction tube from the material pail connects. It serves as the first and most critical line of defense against particulate contamination in the fluid system.
This screen is a universal part used across a wide spectrum of high-performance airless sprayer models, including various Impact, Performer, Power Beast, PowrLiner, PowrTwin, and RentSpray series. A clogged, damaged, or missing inlet screen can lead to reduced fluid flow, pump cavitation, premature wear of valves and packings, and inconsistent spray performance. Keeping this screen clean is a fundamental maintenance task.
| Pump Protection | Filters out sand, dirt, skin particles, and other debris before they enter the pump's precision valves and cylinders. |
|---|---|
| Flow Management | Allows unimpeded fluid flow when clean but signals a need for service when flow is restricted. |
| System Longevity | Preventing abrasive particles from entering the pump significantly extends the life of packings, balls, and seats. |
| Contamination Control | Helps ensure cleaner material is delivered to the gun filter and tip. |
| Reduced Performance | Sprayer struggles to prime, loses pressure, or has pulsating output. |
|---|---|
| Visible Clogging | Screen is more than 50% covered with dried material or debris. |
| Physical Damage | Mesh is torn, crushed, or has holes, allowing unfiltered material to pass. |
| Routine Maintenance | Cleaned at every material change; replaced periodically as preventative care. |

Filtration is a multi-stage process. These other components work in conjunction with the inlet screen.
The tube that draws material from the pail; the screen is often located at its end or where it connects to the pump.
Secondary and tertiary filters located at the spray gun to protect the tip.
The seal where the suction tube connects; prevents air leaks that can affect priming.
