The ELAFLEX EK 172 is a genuine ZVA Slimline nozzle filter / strainer (screen), designed specifically for ZVA Slimline models (MK1 and MK2).
It fits in the nozzle inlet area and helps protect internal components by catching debris in the fuel stream before it reaches the nozzle mechanism.
Key features
- For ZVA Slimline MK1 & MK2 only (not suitable for other ZVA nozzle types).
- OEM ELAFLEX spare part: EK 172 nozzle filter/strainer (screen).
- Helps reduce debris-related issues and supports consistent nozzle operation on busy forecourts.
- Ideal for routine nozzle servicing, refurbishment, or replacing a contaminated/missing strainer.
Where it’s used
EK 172 is commonly replaced during planned maintenance, after tank/pipework work, or whenever a nozzle is stripped for service.
A clean strainer can help avoid nuisance faults and keep dispensing smooth, particularly on high-throughput petrol filling stations.
Compatibility (important)
Compatible: ELAFLEX ZVA Slimline MK1 and ZVA Slimline MK2 nozzles.
Not compatible: other ZVA nozzle families (including commercial/high-speed variants).
