449-7109: 1/4" Oil Strainer

An Oil Strainer is to filter the engine oil as it circulates through the air tank, ensuring that contaminants and debris do not enter the sensitive components. The strainer is a mesh or perforated screen, allowing oil to flow through while capturing and retaining solid particles and contaminants. The mesh or screen is fine enough to trap debris but not impede oil flow significantly. The strainer is connected through the nipples, and sight glass. Attributes: • Allows it to intercept oil before it is drawn into the oil pump • Ensure a leak-free connection between the strainer and the oil lines • Protect the oil pump from damage caused by debris Applications: An Oil Strainer is used in the air tank to minimize any resistance. This ensures that there is sufficient oil supply to the moving parts, even as the strainer captures contaminants.
