How to Specify Windshield Washer Pump Strainer

  • Inlet diameter: 10–12 mm push-fit on the pump spigot.
  • Mesh: 40-mesh catches debris that blocks jets; 60-mesh for very fine jets.
  • Material: SS304 resists washer fluid and antifreeze.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

  • Fill only through the reservoir neck screen, not the open tank.
  • Inspect the strainer when the spray weakens or the pump runs noisily.

Common Mistakes

  • Topping up with untreated water in winter, which freezes and cracks the strainer housing.
  • Removing the strainer to restore flow, letting debris jam the impeller.

When Windshield Washer Pump Strainer Is Not the Right Choice

Not a nozzle filter — blocked jets still need cleaning at the nozzle.
