Description
Overview:
The Hose Strainer 3" Zinc Plated is a durable intake screen for industrial and construction hoses used with water pumps and similar machinery. It is made from robust mild steel with a heavy zinc-plated finish to resist corrosion in wet, gritty environments. Fitted to the end of a suction hose, it stops larger debris entering the line, helping to protect pumps and maintain steady flow. The strainer uses a 3 inch (76.2 mm) hose tail and 10 mm perforations to balance debris protection with good throughput. Key dimensions include an inner diameter of 72.20 mm, a hose-tail outer diameter of 76.30 mm, and a basket outer diameter of 146.70 mm. It is a practical choice for dewatering, drainage, and general water transfer on site, in agriculture, or landscaping.
Key Features:
- Heavy-duty mild steel body with zinc plating for long-lasting corrosion resistance
- 3 inch (76.2 mm) hose tail suitable for standard industrial suction hoses
- 10 mm perforations to screen out stones, leaves, and other coarse debris while maintaining flow
- Helps prevent pump damage and reduces clogging to support reliable operation
- Rigid construction for use in demanding site conditions
- Simple to fit at the hose intake; secure with a suitable 3 inch (76.2 mm) clamp or band
- Easy to rinse and clear in service, aiding quick maintenance
- Dimensions: 72.20 mm inner diameter, 76.30 mm hose-tail outer diameter, 146.70 mm basket outer diameter
- Suitable for freshwater and site water transfer where coarse filtration is required
- Compatible with trash pumps and general-purpose water pumps using 3 inch (76.2 mm) suction lines
Typical Applications:
Used on the suction side of site and agricultural water pumps for dewatering excavations, draining ditches and ponds, transferring water from tanks or bowsers, and managing runoff. Ideal for construction sites, landscaping, groundwork, and flood recovery where preventing intake blockages and protecting pump internals is essential.
