The Harrington Female Basket Suction Strainer-Diffuser is a high-performance drafting and water flow control device designed for fire service and hydrant testing applications. Built with a lightweight T6061-T6 aluminum body anodized to Military Specification Type 3, it ensures exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. The rigid stainless steel mesh screen prevents debris from entering pumps while maintaining full water flow through the suction hose. Additionally, it doubles as a diffuser for safe hydrant flow testing.
Features
- Durable construction: Made from T6061-T6 aluminum with Military Specification Type 3 anodizing for long-lasting performance.
- Corrosion resistance: Anodized finish protects against harsh environments and water exposure.
- Rigid stainless steel mesh: Provides superior debris filtration while allowing full water flow.
- Dual functionality: Works as both a basket strainer for drafting and a diffuser for hydrant testing.
- Lightweight design: Easy to handle and transport without compromising strength.
- Full flow capability: Maintains optimal water flow into suction hoses for efficient pump operation.
How is it used?
Attach the basket suction strainer to the end of a suction hose when drafting from open water sources to prevent debris from entering the pump. For hydrant testing, connect the diffuser to the hydrant outlet to safely disperse water flow and reduce risk during high-pressure discharge.
Who uses it?
Primarily used by fire departments, emergency response teams, and municipal water authorities for drafting operations and hydrant flow testing.
Maintenance information
Inspect the stainless steel mesh screen regularly for debris buildup and damage. Clean with fresh water after each use and ensure all connections are free of corrosion. Replace the mesh if compromised.
Storage information
Store in a dry, cool environment away from corrosive chemicals. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to maintain anodized finish integrity.
