Compatibility and Fitment
This strainer connects directly to Jabsco standard snap-in ports, so installation is straightforward. It suits Par-Max pumps in the 3–5 GPM range and matches Jabsco reference 46400-9500, supplied by Argomarine under ID J21-114. To achieve the best performance, install it on the suction side close to the pump. In addition, angle the 90° body carefully to minimise hose length and avoid kinks.
Compliance and Safety
Use this strainer only with potable or wash-down water, as the manufacturer specifies. Always depressurise the system and isolate power before servicing to prevent accidents. Regular inspections help you detect screen damage early, so you can replace it promptly and keep the pump fully protected.
Marine Applications
Boaters often choose this 90° snap-in strainer for freshwater pressure systems, galley sinks, showers, and toilet rinse pumps. Thanks to its fine mesh screen, it performs well in demanding conditions. Furthermore, the compact design suits tight compartments without sacrificing filtration reliability.
