The Fluidtrol RSW116108531 integrates 8-inch inlet connectivity with a 5-inch outlet, solving complex pipe reduction challenges within a single corrosion-resistant vessel. Engineered for commercial aquatic facilities, this reducing basket strainer protects pumps and circulation loops from hair, lint, and foliage without requiring additional plumbing adapters. Its eccentric design facilitates proper drainage and minimizes air pockets during startup.

Reliability in wet environments comes from the fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic (FRP) body and PVC flanges, which endure aggressive chlorinated water better than metal alternatives. An internal 316 stainless steel basket filters debris down to 1/8-inch openings, ensuring maximum protection for sensitive rotating equipment. Maintenance technicians appreciate the clear cast-acrylic cover, which permits visual monitoring of the debris zone under pressure without system shutdown.

Technical Specifications

Always confirm 8-inch inlet and 5-inch outlet orientation prior to connecting to the circulation system to ensure correct eccentric positioning and flow direction.
