The Multiquip 168000000 NPT Strainer 3/8" Holes is a genuine OEM strainer designed for the MQD2HA, MQD3HA, MQD2H, and MQD3H diaphragm pump series. As a direct OEM replacement, it delivers the exact fit and construction needed to keep fluid flow correctly filtered at the pump inlet. Sourced directly through Multiquip's authorized parts program, the 168000000 ensures your diaphragm pump continues operating as intended without improvised substitutions. Verify your model code against the fitment list to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Strainer Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's original material and mesh specifications, ensuring the 3/8" hole pattern performs exactly as engineered for these diaphragm pump models.
- Threaded NPT Connection — Designed with a standard NPT thread profile for direct installation into the pump's inlet port with no reworking of fittings.
- Confirmed Fitment for MQD Series Pumps — Verified for MQD2HA, MQD3HA, MQD2H, and MQD3H diaphragm pump models.
- Protects Internal Pump Components — Catches debris before it reaches the diaphragm and valve seats, preventing premature wear and maintaining consistent flow output.
- Easy Serviceability — The NPT threaded design allows straightforward removal during routine maintenance checks, making strainer inspection and cleaning a quick field task.
The NPT strainer acts as the first line of defense in a diaphragm pump's fluid path, filtering out solids and debris before they can reach the pump's internal diaphragm, check valves, and seats. A clogged or damaged strainer restricts flow to the pump, reducing output pressure and volume, while a missing strainer exposes sensitive internal components to accelerated wear from particulate damage. Keeping this strainer in good condition is essential to maintaining consistent pump performance and protecting the components downstream of the inlet.
