A diversion copper connector is welded to a through hole provided on the base plate of the integral structure. A snap-fit ​​part is provided on the inner wall of the straight pipe section, and a filter screen is snapped onto the snap-fit ​​part.

[0006] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the necked connection is formed by spinning one end of a straight tube made of stainless steel.

[0007] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the necked connection is a copper connector with a large diameter portion and a small neck, and the large diameter portion of the copper connector is welded to one end opening of the straight pipe portion.

[0008] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the stainless steel plate or copper plate is welded to the inner wall of the other end of the straight pipe.

[0009] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the stainless steel plate or copper plate is welded to the end face of the other end of the straight pipe section.

[0010] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the stainless steel plate or copper plate is provided with an upward flange around its perimeter, and the upward flange is welded to the outer wall of the other end of the straight pipe section.

[0011] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the outer side of the shunt copper connector is provided with an enlarged diameter section.

[0012] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the snap-fit ​​part is formed by engraving, pressing or welding upper and lower snap-fit ​​blocks, and a snap-fit ​​groove is formed between the upper and lower snap-fit ​​blocks to snap the filter screen, and the periphery of the filter screen is snapped onto the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0013] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0014] 1. Most of the materials in this utility model are made of stainless steel, which not only reduces production costs, but also, due to the high strength, resistance to deformation and good corrosion resistance of stainless steel, gives the distributor the characteristics of high strength, resistance to deformation and good corrosion resistance.
