Suction Strainer

The Suction Strainer is a critical piece of equipment designed for fire service water supply applications, offering high-flow performance while enabling fire departments to utilize available water sources effectively even at depths as low as 1-1/2". The Ziamatic Suction Strainer comes in two primary models: the QD-500 and the QD-600. The QD-500 is capable of delivering flows exceeding 1,900 GPM, while the QD-600 provides even higher flow rates, surpassing 2,300 GPM. This makes the Suction Strainer an essential tool for ensuring consistent and reliable water supply during firefighting operations.

One of the key advantages of the Suction Strainer is its built-in screen, which keeps debris outside the unit without being affected by surface turbulence. This feature allows for continuous operation without the need to shut down the line or disconnect the hose to clean the screen. The coupling on the strainer can be adjusted and locked through a 90-degree arc, helping to prevent hose bending and allowing the strainer to sit flat on the bottom of the tank. Constructed from high-tensile-strength aluminum, the strainer is both durable and lightweight, making it easy to handle during setup and deployment.

The Suction Strainer also includes a convenient carrying handle and a long-handled anodized aluminum coupling, which facilitates quick and efficient setup in the field. The unit is available in two sizes: 5" and 6", with options for different coupling configurations, including NST female coupling or less coupling, to suit various operational needs. These features make the Ziamatic Suction Strainer a versatile and reliable choice for fire departments and other emergency response teams that require high-performance water supply solutions.
