Parker 937496 Suction Strainer 132 Gpm 3in Npt No Bypass

Product Description

The PARKER 937496 is a threaded suction strainer designed for fluid intake protection in hydraulic and industrial piping systems. It operates without a bypass valve, meaning flow is always directed through the screen element, providing consistent filtration at the inlet. The strainer handles a maximum flow rate of 100 GPM (378 liters per minute) and is rated to a maximum working temperature of 195 degrees F. The screen is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability in demanding service environments. At 10.71 inches in length with a 3-inch NPT threaded connection, it installs directly into suction lines on pumps, tanks, or hydraulic power units.

This strainer is suited for hydraulic systems, industrial fluid handling, and pump protection applications in both commercial and industrial settings. It is a no-bypass design, which makes it appropriate for systems where unfiltered bypass flow is not acceptable. Typical installation occurs at the pump inlet or tank suction port. Licensed millwrights, hydraulic technicians, and pipefitters are the primary trades that service this component.

Key Features

• No-bypass design ensures all flow passes through the stainless steel screen element
• Maximum flow rate of 100 GPM (378 liters per minute)
• 3-inch NPT threaded connection for straightforward pipe integration
• Stainless steel screen material for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Rated to 195 degrees F maximum working temperature
• Compact 10.71-inch body length suitable for tight suction-line installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation suction strainer for hydraulic and industrial fluid systems using 3-inch NPT threaded suction line connections where a no-bypass configuration is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician, pipefitter, or millwright familiar with suction-line plumbing. De-energize the hydraulic power unit and relieve all system pressure before removing or installing the strainer. Ensure thread sealant compatible with the system fluid is applied to NPT threads per applicable piping codes. Because this unit has no bypass, a clogged screen will restrict flow to the pump — establish a routine maintenance interval appropriate for the system fluid cleanliness level.
