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

The Perko 2-1/2" IPS Intake Strainer Bronze is an essential marine-grade component for any serious boater or commercial fishing operation. This intake strainer protects your engine's cooling system by filtering debris, seaweed, and foreign material before water enters the raw water intake line. Whether you're running a center console, sportfisher, trawler, or workboat, a reliable intake strainer is the difference between a trouble-free season and a costly engine repair or unexpected shutdown on the water.

Built from marine-grade bronze and manufactured in the USA, the Perko 2-1/2" IPS intake strainer delivers durability and corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments. The 2-1/2" IPS (Iron Pipe Size) connection thread accommodates standard through-hull and intake plumbing configurations, making integration straightforward on retrofit or new installations. The strainer basket design captures sediment and organic matter while maintaining adequate flow rates to your cooling system—critical for maintaining optimal engine temperatures during extended cruising or heavy-load operations.

Perko's heritage as a manufacturer of marine hardware means this unit meets the demands of professional and recreational vessels alike. This intake strainer is ideal for operators who prioritize preventive maintenance and system reliability. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic plumbing—position it in the intake line ahead of your sea cock or raw water pump.
