Description and Q/A Misleading By Russ K. on 7/1/2015
Russ K. would recommend this product to a friendThe description only states "Slip" and a "Q/A" which specifically asks if a 3/4" strainer will fit over 3/4" pipe without an adapter was answered yes. However, the "slip" is actually spigot. Which means you can't connect it directly to pipe. The 3/4" strainer is the same size as 3/4" pipe, so it needs a coupler or other adapter. Disappointed in the misleading information. -
Nice, wish iut was what I needed By fyngyrz on 6/9/2015
fyngyrz would recommend this product to a friendWhat I actually needed -- and what I suspect others would need as well -- was a barb-to-strainer, not a slip-to-strainer. Slip to strainer just meant adapters, less easy to handle, etc. Annoying.
And they do make them. be nice if BRS carried them.
The part itself was perfectly fine, if that's what you need, for instance if you're going into a bulkhead slip fitting instead of 1/2" hose...
Still, mad credit to the guys for getting me going, wrong fitting or not. They know *exactly* what they are doing here. Great place to do this kind of business. -

Good quality, great price By Sean on 3/4/2015
Sean would recommend this product to a friendI bought this as a strainer/snail guard for my overflow. I don't have an overflow box, instead I just used a sched 40 elbow with the 1" ABS bulkhead. It does restrict the flow quite a bit, but it was easy to cut out a couple of ribs to adjust the flow. -

Product Questions
Need your help, I want to put strainer on my herbi overflow and I was looking at the low profile strainer, my main return is a 1 1/2 pvc drain, is there a was I can put in my drain or do I have to put a different make, please help Thanks.
Question by: Edward on Jan 27, 2016 4:51:00 PM
Great question!
The over flow strainers are a spigot or street fitting meaning they are the same outside diameter as a piece of pipe. To attach to a bulkhead it can be placed directly in the bulkhead, to attach to a piece of pipe you will need a slip x slip coupler. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!

My durso tube where I need to attach the strainer is a 1 1/4 PVC slip 90. I don't see a 1 1/4 strainer. Would the 1" slip fit in the 1 1/4 90?
Question by: Erich on Jun 4, 2016 2:26:00 PM
Great question!
unfortunately we do not carry the 1.25" sized strainer currently. The 1" would be too small and simply fall into the elbow with out being secure. You can attempt to reduce the elbow with a bushing or other reducer to use 1" however.

I have a 2 inch bulkhead without threads, need a strainer, what do I need?
Question by: Rick on Jul 13, 2014 5:17:00 AM
Hi Rick,
If you don't have threads in your bulkhead then you would want a slip trainer. Also, keep in mind that the sizes listed are nominal plumbing sizes, so a 2" strainer is for a 2" bulkhead, intended for 2" pipe, etc, but not a literal measurement of 2". Just make sure to double check the nominal size of the actual plumbing and it will fit just fine.
