Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I clean or replace the strainer screen?

Q: Will this strainer fit my RV's water inlet?
A: This strainer is designed for standard 1-inch RV water inlet connections. Verify your inlet size before ordering. Most modern RVs use 1-inch connections, but some older models may differ.
