Frequently asked questions
Is this screen built with durable materials?
Yes, the RPI VPS077 is engineered for durability. It features a robust stainless steel screen for effective filtration, supported by a sturdy red plastic cage to ensure structural integrity during operation.
Is this screen compatible with my VacStar 2 system?
Yes, this component is specifically designed as a direct replacement for the Air Techniques VacStar 2 dental vacuum units, fitting perfectly within the 3/4-inch Solids Collector component.
What is the exact mesh size for filtration?
This screen features a 20 mesh configuration. This specific sizing is designed to provide optimal debris capture for the intended filtration applications within your dental vacuum system.
Are there other mesh options available?
Yes, we also offer a 50 mesh variant (RPI Part #VPS076) if your specific maintenance needs require a different filtration density.
What are the precise dimensions of this replacement screen?
The screen is manufactured to precise standards with the following dimensions:
- Outer Diameter (OD): 1.73 inches
- Length: 3.77 inches
Is this an authentic factory-new part?
Yes, all RPI VPS077 screens are factory new. RPI parts are high-quality, OEM-equivalent components designed to keep your dental equipment running at peak performance.
Should I replace the entire Solids Collector unit?
Not necessarily. If your Solids Collector (3/4”) housing is still in good condition, you can simply replace the internal screen (RPI Part #VPS077). However, if you need a new housing, the Solids Collector (3/4”) (RPI Part #VPC069) is also available separately.
Is this part easy to integrate into my maintenance routine?
Absolutely. It is an essential, easy-to-install maintenance component. Replacing the screen regularly ensures your Solids Collector continues to function correctly and protects the internal workings of your dental suction system.
Does this product ship directly from the factory?
Yes, this item is shipped directly from the manufacturer to ensure you receive the freshest factory-new stock. Please note that the typical lead time for this process is 1-2 weeks.
Are there any specific care instructions for this filter?
While it is a low-maintenance part, it is intended to act as a primary barrier against debris. To ensure your VacStar 2 unit remains protected, we recommend inspecting the 20 mesh screen periodically for blockages and replacing it according to your practice’s preventative maintenance schedule.
