Perko 0.5-Inch IPS Bronze Intake Strainer, Made in USA

Description

The Perko 0.5-Inch IPS Bronze Intake Strainer, Made in USA protects compatible onboard pumps and water-system equipment by trapping debris before it reaches downstream components. Its removable basket provides a serviceable filtering stage while the strainer housing is designed for secure marine installation and routine cleaning.

A clear viewing section on supported models makes debris buildup easier to monitor, while corrosion-resistant basket material supports repeated water service. Perko intake models use robust bronze housings and service-oriented covers, while GROCO freshwater versions are configured specifically for freshwater pump protection.

Confirm connection size, water application, mounting orientation, flow requirements, basket access, and service clearance before installation. Keep the basket accessible, clean debris before flow becomes restricted, inspect seals during reassembly, and test the completed water circuit for leaks before operation. Worth comparing against our other bilge and water pumps.

• The basket captures material before it reaches sensitive equipment.
