Right Thread, Right Spec — Before It Ships

The wrong thread orientation on a low level strainer doesn't just waste time — it halts your drafting operation and forces a return freight claim. That's the scenario Tank Vault eliminates. We verify your thread type, size, and male or female orientation before your order ships. With six size options and five thread configurations including NST, NPT, STORZ, CAM, and BSP, we confirm your exact spec via email after purchase. No guesswork. No wrong fittings arriving on scene. We cross-reference your application and connection requirements against the strainer specifications so what you spec'd is what arrives on your truck.

Shallow Water Drafting Without Surface Turbulence Problems

Shallow Water Drafting Without Surface Turbulence Problems

Most strainers lose prime or clog when drafting from ponds and streams with surface debris and turbulence. The Fol-Da-Tank Low Level Strainer operates at depths as low as 1.5 inches without being affected by surface conditions. The lightweight aluminum body sits below the turbulent layer, pulling clean water at 1,500 to 2,000 gpm. A long swivel handle with standard NH or NPSH threads gives you control during deployment. Sizes 4 through 6 inches include a standard 1.5-inch water transfer feature for additional flexibility. Built for firefighters, mining operations, and construction sites where your water source is unpredictable.

Code-Compliant Drafting Gear for Wildland and Rural Operations

Code-Compliant Drafting Gear for Wildland and Rural Operations

When your operation falls under NFPA 1142 for water supply in wildland fire suppression, your drafting equipment must meet the standard. This code-compliant strainer carries NFPA 1142 compliance, so it passes inspection without additional documentation from you. The debris-screening design protects your pump from damage that would shut down operations mid-incident. Compact enough to store in truck compartments and reattach to hard suction hose on arrival. An optional carry rack is available for organized storage between calls — small rack for 2.5 and 3-inch sizes, large rack for 4 through 6-inch models. Field-proven gear that ships ready to work.

Compatibility Check

Confirm your setup matches these requirements before ordering.

  • Your hard suction hose uses BSP, CAM, NPT, NST, or STORZ threads
  • Your water source maintains a minimum depth of 1.5 inches
  • Your truck compartment accommodates the selected strainer size

Built for Demanding Operations

Where shallow water is your only option, this strainer keeps the flow moving.

The Fol Da Tank Low Level Strainer allows you to draft water from ponds, streams and other water sources at very shallow depths of just 1.5 to 2 inches.

Strainers are typically used by fire fighters, mining and construction applications that require a reliable source of water and the ability to filter out debris from that water source.

The strainer screens out debris and other material from the pond and streams that will damage equipment.
