MV19 | Suction Filter/Strainer, Pump Inlet

MV19 | 3/4 F x 3/4 M Suction Filter/Strainer, Pump Inlet

Heavy-duty suction filter for pump inlet protection

• The AR MV19 suction filter and strainer is a heavy-duty inlet protection component
  engineered to keep pumps supplied with clean, debris-free water so equipment runs smoothly and lasts longer.
• Installs directly in the suction line between the water source and pump inlet to intercept sand, rust flakes,
  scale, and silt before they reach seals, pistons, valves, and check assemblies.
• Reduces abrasion and many causes of cavitation, helping maintain stable operating pressure and extending
  service life for pumps and downstream components.

Flow Performance

Full-flow interior for stable suction and prime

• Flow path is engineered to minimize restriction, giving the pump a steady, air-free supply
  even during high-demand cycles when suction is strongest.
• MV19 Full-flow interior profile reduces pressure drop on the inlet side, critical for compact triplex pumps and
  high-efficiency designs that rely on consistent feed to avoid pulsation.
• Internal strainer element is built to maintain its shape under vacuum, resisting collapse when the pump pulls
  hard against the water column.
• Mesh selection balances debris capture with throughput so the pump is protected without being starved for flow.

Construction & Design

Corrosion-resistant housing with robust mesh strainer

• Corrosion-resistant body and robust internal mesh are designed for continuous exposure to water and commonly
  used cleaning agents.
• Housing is rugged enough to withstand vibration and incidental impacts on mobile carts, trailers, and portable
  systems.
• Strainer element maintains structural integrity under vacuum to reduce entrained air and noisy, unstable
  operation.
• Simple, serviceable body opens quickly to access the element for inspection and rinsing—no special tools
  required.

Compatibility & Placement

MV 19 3/4″ F x 3/4″ M connections for portable and fixed rigs

• Features a 3/4″ female connection on one side and 3/4″ male connection on the other,
  making in-line placement straightforward with standard hose ends and pump inlets.
• Suitable for shops, job sites, agricultural operations, and light industrial facilities using municipal
  spigots, storage tanks, totes, or reclaimed water sources.
• Can be mounted vertically or horizontally as space allows, provided the suction line remains free of kinks and
  sharp bends.
• Works best when installed as close as practical to the pump inlet to keep the suction path short and direct,
  supporting prime retention and steady flow.

Quick cleaning for predictable inlet conditions

• Routine maintenance is typically as simple as closing the supply valve, relieving system pressure, removing
  the element, and rinsing away accumulated particles with clean water.
• Easy access encourages regular care, reducing unplanned downtime from starved inlets, cavitation, or fouled
  seals.
• Periodic visual checks for debris and scheduled cleaning based on water quality and run hours help keep inlet
  conditions consistent and preserve pump performance.
• When paired with good supply practices—adequate hose diameter, short runs, and fully open valves—the MV19 acts
  as a dependable first line of defense for any pressure washer or pump system.
