With male or female NPT connectors, to thread into or onto pipe. There are ten wire mesh sizes to choose from.

Choose a part number from the nut or nipple table and add the mesh size desired from the mesh size table located above.

Example:
A 2-in. nut-style strainer is part number F-16, and odering it with a 20-mesh wire screen would add "20" to the part number, making itF-16-20.
