Custom Stainless Steel & FRP Strainer Baskets for Aquariums, Zoos, and Commercial Pools

Strainer Basket Details

Fluidtrol’s standard basket is constructed from 1/8″ perforated @ 3/16″ staggered centers. However, we have the capability to fabricate baskets with a variety of hole size and open area to meet particular design requirement.

The stainless basket is a significant cost in the manufacture of an average sized aquatic strainer. The basket represents the most costly replacement part for the end-user.

The Fluidtrol strainer basket is built to last. Our baskets are laser cut from heavy duty 12 gauge stainless steel, making this potential weak spot super strong.

  • 2″ to 10″ Strainers = 18 Gauge
  • 12″ to 16″ Strainers = 16 Gauge
  • 18″ to 24 Strainers = 14 Gauge
