0558007486 - ESAB 3/4" NPTF Coolant T-Strainer - 150 Mesh

Reliable Filtration for Liquid Cooling Systems

The ESAB T-Strainer 150-Mesh 3/4NPTF (0558007486) is an essential component for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of liquid-cooled industrial equipment. Designed specifically for the demanding environments of welding and plasma cutting, this strainer serves as a critical barrier against contaminants in your coolant loop. Suspended solids, rust, and debris can wreak havoc on precision equipment, leading to clogged torch heads, reduced cooling capacity, and premature pump failure. By integrating this high-quality strainer, you ensure that only clean fluid circulates through your system.

The unit features a 150-mesh screen, providing fine filtration capable of catching small particles that standard coarse filters might miss. This level of filtration is particularly important for modern high-amperage TIG and plasma systems where coolant channels are narrow and easily obstructed. The connection points are machined to 3/4" NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) standards, also known as Dryseal, which provides a superior seal against leakage compared to standard NPT threads, ensuring your shop floor stays dry and your coolant levels remain constant.

Maintenance is streamlined thanks to the T-shaped body design. Unlike inline filters that must be removed completely, the T-strainer allows maintenance personnel to unscrew the access cap and remove the screen for cleaning or replacement without disturbing the main pipework. This design minimizes downtime and encourages regular maintenance, which is key to extending the lifespan of your cooling unit and the expensive torches it serves.
