DN 65 Suction Strainer with Check Valve

The AWG DN 65 suction strainer with check valve is designed to be installed at the inlet of a suction line for firefighting water drawn from an open source. It ensures safe suction from a natural water source, reservoir, tank, or basin by limiting the entry of foreign objects into the system.

This model is equipped with a Storz 75 (B) outlet and corresponds to a nominal size of DN 65. It is suitable for suction equipment used by fire departments, industrial safety teams, and facilities requiring a water supply from an unpressurized source.

Suction Line Protection

The suction strainer plays an essential role in protecting the pump, hoses, and connected equipment. By trapping unwanted particles in the water, it helps reduce the risk of blockages and ensures uninterrupted suction during operations.

The manufacturer’s specifications state that strainer baskets equipped with a check valve and a drain valve can prevent the water column from being disrupted in the event of a suction interruption and facilitate draining the suction line. This function depends on the selected configuration.
