Perko Lightweight Intake Water Strainer - Clear Body - 3/4" Pipe Size

The Perko Lightweight Intake Water Strainer with clear body and 3/4" pipe size is purpose-built for marine, industrial, and mobile operations where reliable water intake filtration is non-negotiable. Field personnel, boat operators, and equipment managers depend on intake strainers to prevent debris—sediment, algae, and foreign particulates—from clogging pump systems and contaminating freshwater or coolant lines. This model delivers proven performance in demanding environments where system downtime translates directly to operational failure.

Construction centers on a 316 stainless steel strainer basket, chosen for superior corrosion resistance in saltwater and chemically aggressive environments where standard steel fails rapidly. The transparent polycarbonate body allows visual inspection of basket condition without disassembly, enabling quick assessment of blockage before flow restriction impacts pump performance. Mounting lugs cast into both sides of the housing ensure universal installation flexibility across different frame geometries, while four external tie rods provide rigid support under vibration and pressure cycling—critical for vehicles and vessels operating in rough conditions. The 3/4" pipe connection accommodates standard marine and industrial plumbing configurations.

Operators of military-spec vessels, emergency response vehicles, and off-grid water systems benefit most from this strainer's straightforward service design—the basket lifts free for cleaning without breaking connections or draining the entire system. Installation is direct: secure the mounting lugs to your frame, thread the 3/4" inlet and outlet connections into your intake line, and verify basket seating before pressurization. Weighing just 3.8 pounds, it adds minimal system weight while delivering decades of reliable service in salt spray, freshwater, and industrial cooling applications. Compatible with any 3/4" NPT or equivalent threaded intake port.
