Suction Strainer Float

Suction Strainer Float is a type of equipment used in firefighting operations. It is classified under the supply class Firefighting Equipment, which falls under the supply group Firefighting, Rescue, and Safety Equipment; and Environmental Protection Equipment and Materials.

A suction strainer float is designed to be attached to the end of a suction hose or pipe that is used to draw water from a water source, such as a lake, river, or pool. It helps to prevent debris, such as leaves, sticks, and other large particles, from entering the firefighting equipment, such as pumps or nozzles.

The float is typically made of a buoyant material, such as foam or plastic, which allows it to float on the surface of the water. It is equipped with a strainer or mesh screen that filters out the debris while allowing water to pass through.

By using a suction strainer float, firefighters can ensure that the water being drawn into their equipment is clean and free from large particles that could clog or damage the equipment. This helps to maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of the firefighting operation.

Overall, suction strainer floats are essential components of firefighting equipment, providing an important layer of protection and ensuring the reliability of water supply during firefighting operations.
