Suction Filters and strainers protect pumps from contamination, while also providing additional flow diffusion in the suction line. They can be equipped with a magnetic column for retaining ferrous particles smaller than the pleated wire mesh, and with or without a bypass valve. Available versions:
- Suction Strainer (STR, MPA, MPM), a simple filter element screwed onto the suction pipe and (STRB) externally mounted through tank wall.
- Tank wall-mounted suction filters (SF2) incorporate an anti-drain shut-off valve to allow element changes without draining the tank.
