Trimaco 11513 Elastic-top Paint Strainer 5 Gallon

Product Description

The TRIMACO 11513 is a nylon elastic-top paint strainer designed to fit standard 5-gallon buckets and pails. It filters debris, dried paint chunks, and foreign material from coatings before application, helping to keep sprayers, rollers, and brushes free of clogs and contamination. The elastic top stretches to seat securely over the bucket rim, holding the strainer in place during pouring. Painters, finishing contractors, and facility maintenance crews use this strainer as a standard step when reclaiming or transferring paint.

This strainer is suited for residential and commercial painting operations where coating quality and equipment protection matter. It works with latex, oil-based, and water-based paints poured from or into 5-gallon containers. Common use cases include job-site cleanup, paint reclamation, and prep work before loading a sprayer reservoir or refilling a roller tray.
