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

The Perko 1/2" IPS Intake Strainer Bronze is an essential marine-duty component designed for serious boaters and anglers. This strainer is particularly useful for those operating inboard or sterndrive engines in both saltwater and freshwater environments. Experienced captains understand the importance of protecting their engines from debris that can cause significant damage.

Constructed from durable bronze, the Perko strainer is specifically designed to resist corrosion in marine environments. It features a robust internal mesh screen that effectively captures sand, vegetation, and sediment while allowing for unrestricted water flow to the engine's cooling system. The IPS (Iron Pipe Size) 1/2" threads ensure a secure connection to the through-hull fitting and raw-water inlet plumbing.

This strainer is ideal for a variety of vessels, including cabin cruisers, fishing boats, and workboats. Regular maintenance, such as periodic basket cleaning accessed by unscrewing the bowl, ensures that the strainer operates at peak efficiency. By using the Perko 1/2" IPS Intake Strainer, boaters can enjoy a smooth day on the water without the worry of costly engine failures.
