Midland Industries SR-600-SP Round Hole Strainer 6in Fip

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SR-600-SP is a round hole strainer designed for fire hose applications requiring a 6-inch female iron pipe (FIP) connection. Constructed from steel, this strainer is built to withstand the demands of fire suppression and water supply systems. It filters debris from entering hose lines and downstream equipment, protecting pumps, nozzles, and valves from obstruction. At 5.51 pounds, the SR-600-SP offers solid construction without excessive weight for field handling. This type of fitting is installed by fire protection contractors, municipal water departments, and industrial fire brigade personnel maintaining wet or dry fire hose systems.

The SR-600-SP is suited for use in foot valve and strainer assemblies within fire hose supply lines. Its 6-inch FIP connection accommodates large-diameter hose fittings common in commercial, industrial, and municipal fire protection setups. Typical installation scenarios include drafting operations at open water sources, tank inlet protection, and pump suction line filtering where debris control is critical to system reliability.

Installation Notes

Installation of fire hose strainers and foot valves is typically performed by licensed fire protection contractors or qualified industrial maintenance personnel. Always isolate and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any strainer assembly. Apply appropriate thread sealant to FIP connections per NFPA and local fire code requirements. Inspect the strainer screen for damage or clogging at scheduled intervals as part of standard fire system maintenance.
