Frequently Asked Questions

It captures debris at the pump inlet so contaminants don’t reach the pump, valves, or spray tip—reducing clogs and wear, and helping maintain a uniform spray fan.

Inspect and rinse after each use or material change. Replace if the screen is damaged, crushed, or if persistent flow restriction occurs even after cleaning.

It’s sold as the inlet strainer assembly. Any additional seals specific to your pump inlet should be ordered per your sprayer’s parts manual if required.

The models listed above are specified for this strainer; however, verify by serial range in the manual. Some generations may use different inlet hardware.
