When you’re working on a large portable piping project, it pays to have the right protection for your valuable pumps. The last thing you need is to have rocks, leaves, and other large particles clogging up your system and slowing down your work.
That’s why we recommend protecting your pumps with suction strainers, such as our heavy-duty steel bar strainers, available in 10-inch and 12-inch sizes in both A-type and B-type fittings.
Here’s what sets our bar strainers apart:


Built with Durability in Mind
On large-scale jobs, traditional basket-style pump strainers can take a beating. With rough handling, the basket may develop dents or even collapse over time. To withstand wear and tear and the need for routine replacement, we introduced our 10-inch and 12-inch bar strainers. Built for durability, our bar strainers provide your crew with a reliable solution even in rugged, challenging conditions.
These heavy-duty bar strainers are made from 5-inch-thick round-rods, with a 1/4-inch-thick steel plate on the bottom for reinforcement. The result is a heavier strainer that’s better suited to handle the rigors of bigger jobs with larger equipment.
Pump Strainer Configurations to Fit Your Job
We stock our large-diameter bar strainers in a range of popular configurations, including:
- Bar strainer x flange
- Bar strainer x ball Anfor (A-type)
- Bar strainer x socket Anfor (A-type)

We carry a large inventory of bar strainers, with most ready to ship within 24 hours.
Need a custom solution? We can fabricate to your specifications, including B-type ball-and-socket configurations. Our custom-fabricated pieces are made to order, so you can get exactly what you need without compromise.
Extend Pump Lifespan
Investing in bar strainers means investing in instant protection for your expensive pumps. Bar strainers block out contaminants before they can cause clogs or damage, helping extend your pump’s lifespan and reduce costly downtime.
It all adds up to less wear and tear, fewer replacements, and smoother operations—making your life easier!
