Overview

The Perko 049301099D is a replacement strainer basket for Perko 493 Series raw water intake strainers, sized for the 4930-DP10 size 10 strainer used with 2-1/2 inch intake plumbing. It replaces the removable basket inside the strainer body, where it helps catch weeds, shells, scale, and other debris before they reach pumps, heat exchangers, air conditioning systems, generators, or engine cooling circuits.

The basket is stainless steel and matches the cylindrical basket format used in Perko 493 Series intake strainers. Its size and fitment matter, so it should be matched to the existing Perko strainer model and not selected by hose size alone.

Key features

• Replacement basket for Perko 493 Series raw water intake strainers.
• Fits the 4930-DP10 size 10 strainer configuration.
• Used with 2-1/2 inch Perko intake strainer applications.
• Stainless steel basket construction for use in raw water plumbing service.
• Helps keep debris out of downstream marine equipment such as pumps, cooling circuits, and strainers serving onboard systems.
• Basket-only replacement part, useful when the existing strainer body is still serviceable.

Compatibility and fit

This basket is intended for the matching Perko 493 Series strainer body, specifically the 4930-DP10 configuration. Before ordering, compare the model marking on the installed strainer and check the basket size against the original part, especially on older boats where strainers may have been replaced or rebuilt over time.

Use on board

A clean, correctly fitted raw water basket is a small part that does important work. It helps protect equipment that depends on steady seawater flow, including engines, generators, air conditioning pumps, and other intake-fed systems. It is a practical replacement for maintenance work when the old basket is damaged, heavily scaled, or no longer seating properly in the strainer body.

Maintenance and care

Inspect the basket regularly in areas with grass, floating debris, sand, or heavy marine growth. Shut the seacock before opening the strainer, remove the basket carefully, rinse away trapped debris, and check that the basket seats correctly before closing the strainer and reopening the valve.
