Johnson Pump Inlet Strainer - 40 Mesh Screen

The Johnson Pump Inlet Strainer with 40 Mesh Screen (part number 09-24653-02-CN) is a marine-grade intake protection system designed to prevent debris, sediment, and particulate contamination from entering pump systems on vessels and marine equipment. The transparent acrylic cover enables operators to inspect screen condition at a glance without removing the unit, critical when performing pre-operation checks or diagnosing flow issues underway.

This inlet strainer features a 40-mesh screen construction that captures sediment and organic material while maintaining adequate flow rates for marine cooling and ballast systems. The polyamide 66 housing offers corrosion resistance in saltwater environments, while the clear acrylic viewing port withstands UV exposure and saltwater spray typical of offshore and coastal operations. The KlickTite port connectors allow tool-free removal of the entire strainer assembly for thorough cleaning at a convenient location onboard, eliminating the need to disassemble plumbing or interrupt system operation for basic maintenance.

Operators and marine technicians rely on inlet strainers like this for engine cooling loops, seawater intake systems, and hydraulic supply circuits where salt ingestion or mud accumulation would cause rapid component wear or system failure. The 40-mesh rating balances particle capture with flow efficiency—finer than 50-mesh screens that may clog in high-sediment anchorages, yet capable of removing the majority of fouling matter that damages impellers and seals. Weight of 0.45 lbs keeps the unit lightweight for mounting on small craft and larger vessel systems alike.
