Dixon TSS35 3 Inch Fipt Polypropylene Suction Strainer

Product Description

The DIXON TSS35 is a 3-inch FIPT suction strainer constructed from high density polypropylene. It is designed to protect pumps and downstream equipment by filtering debris from fluid at the suction inlet before it enters the system. The polypropylene body resists corrosion and chemical degradation, making it well suited for water transfer, irrigation, and light industrial fluid handling applications. Licensed plumbers, pump installers, and irrigation contractors are the typical tradespeople who specify and install this strainer.

The TSS35 fits suction-side piping on portable and stationary pump systems commonly used in agricultural irrigation, dewatering, and general fluid transfer setups. The 3-inch female iron pipe thread connection integrates directly into standard threaded piping runs. It is appropriate for above-ground pump installations where inlet protection is required to prevent pump cavitation or impeller damage caused by particulate ingestion.

Key Features

• 3-inch FIPT connection for direct integration into standard threaded piping
• High density polypropylene construction resists corrosion and many common chemicals
• Suction-side placement protects pump impellers and seals from debris
• Lightweight material reduces load on inlet piping connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation suction strainer for 3-inch threaded suction piping on residential and commercial pump systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pump system technicians. Shut down and de-energize the pump completely before removing or installing any suction-side components. Ensure threads are clean and use appropriate thread sealant compatible with polypropylene fittings. Do not over-torque the FIPT connection, as polypropylene threads can crack under excessive mechanical stress.
