Finish Thompson A100109 PVC and Polyethylene Inlet Strainer
This is the factory pvc and polyethylene inlet strainer for Finish Thompson TTC drum pumps. It fits over the pump inlet and keeps solids, labels, scale and other debris out of the impeller. It is built in PVC and polyethylene, which is what decides where it can safely be used.
It is one of the parts worth renewing on schedule instead of waiting for a fault. A strainer that is cracked, distorted or partly blocked either lets debris through or starves the pump of flow, and both outcomes damage the impeller. Check the pump build before ordering, because these pumps are offered in more than one material and size combination and the alternatives look similar on the shelf.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should anything else be replaced at the same time?
Whatever the teardown exposes. Elastomers and bushings are inexpensive and are best renewed while the pump is already apart.
Q: What causes most premature failures on this part?
Running the pump outside what it was specified for, whether that is temperature, viscosity, dry running or an incompatible chemical.
Q: Does fitting this affect the pump warranty?
Using the factory part keeps the pump to its original specification, which is what any warranty position depends on.
Q: How should the pump be flushed before service?
With a fluid known to be compatible, so the parts can be handled safely and the old chemical is not carried into the rebuild.
