Dosatron® 6 mm Strainer

Product Overview

Injecting nutrients or chemicals without a high quality strainer puts your entire fertigation system at risk of immediate failure. A single grain of sand or debris can clog internal mechanisms; leading to uneven crop distribution, stunted growth, or total system downtime during the critical mid season feeding window. Supply chain delays often make these small but essential components difficult to source when you need them most. By securing these strainers before the spring rush, you ensure your crews can complete installations without waiting on backordered parts or risking expensive equipment damage for your clients.

The Dosatron 6 mm Strainer is engineered specifically for the chemical suction lines of professional grade injectors, offering a superior mesh density compared to generic hardware store alternatives. It prevents grit and particulates from entering the dosing chamber, which significantly extends the life of internal seals and pistons while reducing your long term maintenance costs. Being well stocked with these OEM grade components gives your business a competitive edge, as you can perform onsite repairs and preventative maintenance faster than competitors who are chasing down parts at the last minute.

Product Specifications

Available Models & Sizes

This strainer is designed for standard 6 mm suction tubing commonly found on small to medium capacity injectors. Please contact our technical sales team for information on larger 8 mm or 12 mm suction line accessories and high volume filtration configurations for commercial fertigation setups.

Key Features

• Constructed from heavy duty polypropylene to resist degradation from harsh fertilizers and acids.
• Precision mesh prevents particulate entry without restricting suction flow or affecting dosing accuracy.
• Tapered barb design ensures a secure, leak proof fit on standard 6 mm chemical intake hoses.
• Tool free maintenance allows your crews to clean or replace the unit in seconds during routine checks.
• Universal compatibility with the industry leading Dosatron series for seamless field integration.
• Weighted design ensures the suction foot remains at the bottom of the chemical tank for consistent dosing.

Common Applications

• Commercial landscape irrigation for consistent turf fertilization.
• Agricultural and crop irrigation for precise nutrient delivery to rows.
• Greenhouse and nursery operations requiring frequent chemical injection.
• Sports turf and golf course maintenance for high traffic grass health.
• Chemical and fertigation delivery in automated growing environments.
• Municipal parks and public spaces utilizing liquid pest control.

Installation Notes

Standard installation requires no specialized tools; simply slide the 6 mm suction tubing over the barbed fitting until it is fully seated. For high pressure or high vibration environments, a small hose clamp may be used to ensure the connection remains airtight. Regularly inspect the mesh for buildup during weekly maintenance cycles, and ensure the strainer sits vertically at the bottom of the stock tank to prevent air from entering the suction line.
