Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this component withstands chemically treated water, ensuring longevity in commercial pool and spa filtration circuits where standard components would degrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrecision Filtration Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis strainer insert uses 1\/8-inch perforations arranged on 3\/16-inch staggered centers. With approximately 33 holes per square inch, the design balances a 40% open area ratio to trap critical debris like hair, lint, and small leaves without significantly restricting water flow. This prevents clogging while safeguarding pump impellers from damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility and Dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned specifically for compatible Fluidtrol strainer housings, the 4-inch designation refers to the inlet flange size rather than the physical diameter of the basket itself. Before ordering, verify the existing strainer model or serial number to ensure proper fitment. Inspect the seating area and O-ring during installation to prevent leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 6-040-5106\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e 316 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAperture:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\/8-Inch Perforation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\/16-Inch Staggered Centers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOpen Area:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 40%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety protocols require the circulation system to be shut down and pressure relieved before swapping components.
