TexasTM Strainer
These are BIG suction strainers that screw into reservoir suction pipes as large as six inches in diameter, to handle flow rates as high as 600 gpm. Stainless wire screens as fine as 200 mesh and either male (nipple) or female (coupling) connections may be ordered. Each flow size is offered in more than one length/diameter ratio size to better fit your available space.
Standard Texas strainers are made with mild steel support tubes, end caps, and fittings. They're epoxy bonded for leak--proof service.

ALL-STAINLESS CONSTRUCTION
Texas strainers are available constructed entirely of stainless steel, in the same wide variety of sizes and element mesh sizes as the standard units.
*Bypass valve will not handle 100% of rated flow.
