    Cut-to-Size Suction Strainers with Backflow-Prevention Valve

    A convenient replacement part to keep on hand, this strainer has NPT male threads for a variety of pipe sizes. Use a hacksaw to remove the pipe sizes that are smaller than you need. Also known as a foot valve, this strainer stops particles from entering your line while preventing backward flow. It is commonly used with reservoirs and tanks. It has an acetal connection, which is corrosion resistant and lightweight.
