Description

PERKO Figure 0493 3/4 in. Bronze Intake Water Strainer – 493-005-PLB

The PERKO Figure 0493 intake strainer protects engine-cooling, generator, air-conditioning and other raw-water systems by trapping debris before it reaches pumps and heat exchangers. A clear cylinder makes basket condition and water flow easy to inspect.

Product Details

• Female 3/4 in. NPT inlet and outlet connections for raw-water plumbing.
• Cast-bronze top and bottom castings with mounting lugs on both sides for flexible installation orientation.
• Clear polycarbonate cylinder allows visual inspection without opening the strainer.

• Basket open-area-to-pipe-size ratio is 25:1.
• Four external tie rods keep metal hardware outside the water path and retain the cylinder assembly.
• Hinged cover lugs allow the cover and basket to be removed for cleaning without fully disassembling the body.
• A 1/4-inch NPT bronze drain plug in the bottom casting supports sediment removal and winterizing.
• Compatible mounting bracket: 0493045BKT.
• Use 0493DP599M or 0493DP599R; select cork for older models or rubber for newer models according to the original gasket material.
