Fernox TF1 Sigma Mini Filter 3/4" BSP – Compact Magnetic Boiler Filter for Central Heating Systems

The Fernox TF1 Sigma Mini Filter 3/4" BSP is designed to help stop that problem before it starts.
This high-performance magnetic central heating filter captures harmful debris before it reaches your boiler, pumps, or valves. The result is better efficiency, longer system life, and fewer costly repairs.
Whether you’re a heating engineer installing a new system or a homeowner protecting an existing one, this compact filter is a reliable solution.
