Flojet 01740-711A Strainer for Jabsco 52700
The Flojet 01740-711A is the genuine replacement inlet strainer for Jabsco 52700 Series pumps. Flojet and Jabsco are both Xylem brands and share a good deal of hardware across their diaphragm pump ranges, which is why a Flojet part number is the correct strainer for a Jabsco pump here.
That shared engineering is worth knowing about when you are sourcing parts. It means a strainer, port fitting or valve component can carry one brand’s number while being the specified part for the other brand’s pump, and it means a part that looks identical from a third source may not share the internal dimensions that actually matter — screen aperture, seat diameter, O-ring groove depth. Using the number the manufacturer lists takes that uncertainty away.
As with any suction-side strainer, the job is to keep grit, scale and tank sediment off the check valve seats, where a single particle will hold a valve open and cost the pump its pressure and its prime. Clean the screen at the start of each season and whenever output falls off. Replace the unit if the mesh is torn or distorted, or if the body has been cracked by a freeze.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does a Jabsco pump take a Flojet part number?
Flojet and Jabsco are sister brands under the same parent, and their diaphragm pump ranges share a number of components. The part number that appears in the parts list is the one to order, whichever brand name is on it.
Q: Will a generic strainer of the same size work?
It may fit and still be wrong. What matters is the screen aperture and the sealing dimensions, and those are not visible from outside — a strainer that seals imperfectly on the suction side lets air in rather than water out.
Q: How do I identify a 52700 Series pump?
The model number is on the pump’s label, usually on the motor body or the top of the pump head. If it has weathered off, send us a photograph and we will identify it with you.
Q: Does this strainer change the pump’s flow rating?
No. A clean strainer has a negligible effect on flow; it is a blocked one that costs you output, which is the argument for cleaning it rather than leaving it out.
