Dixon TSS20 Suction Strainer 1-1/2 Inch Fipt Polypropylene

Product Description

The DIXON TSS20 is a 1-1/2 inch FIPT suction strainer constructed from high density polypropylene. It is designed to protect pumps and downstream equipment by filtering debris from the fluid stream before it enters the suction side of the system. High density polypropylene construction provides resistance to a range of chemicals and corrosive fluids, making it well suited for demanding fluid-handling environments. Plumbers, pump technicians, and irrigation professionals typically install this strainer in suction line applications where inlet protection is required.

This strainer is used on the suction side of pumps in residential, commercial, and light industrial fluid-transfer systems. Typical applications include water supply, irrigation, pool and spa circulation, and chemical transfer lines where the 1-1/2 inch FIPT connection matches existing pipe threading. It is installed directly in line upstream of the pump to intercept particulate and debris before they can reach pump internals or other sensitive components.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch FIPT connection for direct threaded installation into standard pipe systems
• High density polypropylene body offers chemical resistance and lightweight durability
• Suction-side design protects pump internals from debris and particulate ingestion
• Order increment of 1 for flexible single-unit purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation suction strainer for pump systems using 1-1/2 inch female iron pipe thread connections in fluid-transfer and circulation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pump technician. Shut off and lock out the pump and close any isolation valves before removing or installing the strainer. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape on all threaded connections and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit without over-torquing plastic fittings. Verify all connections are secure and the system is fully primed before returning the pump to service.
