Perko 1-1/2" IPS Intake Strainer Bronze Made in the USA

The Perko 1-1/2" IPS Intake Strainer Bronze is an essential component for protecting engines in raw-water-cooled marine systems. It is suitable for various vessels, including cabin cruisers, workboats, and offshore fishing platforms. This strainer is designed to prevent debris, seaweed, and sediment from entering the engine cooling circuit.

Constructed from bronze, a corrosion-resistant alloy, the Perko strainer is engineered for both saltwater and freshwater applications. It features a 1-1/2" IPS (Iron Pipe Size) threaded connection that integrates seamlessly with standard marine plumbing systems. The strainer basket effectively captures particulates while allowing sufficient water flow to maintain cooling efficiency.

This intake strainer is particularly beneficial for boaters operating in coastal waters or river systems with heavy sediment loads. Its design allows for quick visual inspection through a transparent bowl, minimizing maintenance downtime. By ensuring intake integrity, it helps prolong engine longevity and performance.
