Description
Overview:
The 4" Hose Strainer - Zinc Plated is a robust suction-end filter for construction, landscaping, and garden machinery. Built from mild steel with a heavy zinc plating, it withstands corrosion and rough handling on site. Its tin-can style perforated body stops stones, leaves, and other debris from entering pumps, helping to protect impellers and seals while maintaining steady flow. The 10 mm perforations provide a good balance of protection and throughput. A 4 inch (101.6 mm / 10.16 cm) hose tail suits standard 4" suction hoses used with dewatering, transfer and irrigation pumps. Simple to fit and clean, this strainer supports reliable operation across building, groundwork and grounds maintenance tasks where debris in the water source is likely.
