Use cases

Bilge pump protection

Prevents debris and waste from clogging or damaging the impellers of bilge pumps — the most common cause of failed pump-out in the field.

Self-priming pump intake

Pairs perfectly with Osculati EUROPUMP 4-diaphragm and similar self-priming pumps used for deck wash, anchor wash and bilge applications.

Fresh water and engine cooling

Marine brass body resists corrosion in salt-water systems; suitable also for fresh-water intake and engine-raw-water cooling circuits.

Installation guide

Identify pump intake

Locate the suction-side hose connection of the bilge or self-priming pump. The strainer must sit upstream of the pump on the suction line.

Choose mounting method

Vertical model: secure with screws against the bilge transom. Horizontal model: simply press into a 1/2″ port — the thickening ring holds it in place.

Connect the hose

Slide the 16–19 mm (1/2″) suction hose over the strainer outlet and secure with a stainless steel hose clamp.

Verify orientation

Mesh side faces the water, outlet faces the pump. Keep the strainer at the lowest point reachable so it can pick up water effectively.

Inspect periodically

Open the bilge during routine checks and confirm the mesh is free of debris. Clean with a brush or rinse with fresh water as needed.
