Windshield Washer Pump Strainer is used for keeping leaves, sediment and broken ice out of windshield washer pumps so the jets and pump impeller stay clear. Automotive OEM is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What Automotive OEM Means for Windshield Washer Pump Strainer
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit Automotive OEM. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.

When Windshield Washer Pump Strainer Is Not the Right Choice
Not a nozzle filter — blocked jets still need cleaning at the nozzle.
