Arag - 3172003030 - Suction Filter Element 2" 50 Mesh Blue

This suction filter insert captures particulate from the sprayer's suction line before fluid enters the pump. It sits in the filter housing on the low-pressure side of the circuit, where its mesh screen traps debris that would otherwise score the pump's internal surfaces. A clogged insert restricts flow, causing cavitation and inconsistent spray pressure. The manufacturer's design matches the housing's internal seal groove so the bypass valve seats correctly when the element is fully loaded. On reinstall, ensure the housing O-ring is clean and seated to prevent air ingestion.
