Amptyhub Threaded Inlet Strainer Kit for Intex-Style Pumps — 1-1/2in Hoses, Washer & Nut, Tool-Free Install

Amptyhub Threaded Inlet Strainer Kit is a two-piece replacement inlet assembly—complete with rubber washer and strainer nut—designed to fit Intex-style filter pumps with 1-1/2" threaded hoses.

This kit gives you a straightforward way to connect a stock tank or above-ground pool to common cartridge and sand filter pumps that use 1-1/2" threaded hose connections. Each kit includes the threaded inlet strainer, a matching strainer nut and a rubber washer for a sealed connection. The parts are molded for a secure fit and quick installation so you can restore circulation or adapt plumbing without buying a full pump.

Will this inlet strainer fit my pump and hoses?

If your pump uses 1-1/2" threaded hoses it will accept this inlet strainer kit directly. For pumps or hoses with 1-1/4" threads you’ll need a simple adapter (1-1/4" to 1-1/2") to make the connection.

• Fits pumps and hoses with 1-1/2" threaded fittings.
• Requires a separate adapter for 1-1/4" threaded hoses.
• Ideal for Intex-style cartridge and small sand filter pumps.
• Check thread type before purchase to avoid returns.

How easy is the installation and what tools are required?

Installation is simple and typically tool-free: thread the strainer into your inlet, seat the rubber washer, then secure the strainer nut by hand. If connections are tight or older threads are stiff, a strap wrench or pliers with a cloth can help without damaging plastic surfaces.

• Hand-tighten the strainer nut to compress the rubber washer and seal.
• Use a strap wrench or cloth-wrapped pliers to avoid marring fittings.
• Inspect threads and O-ring position for leak-free assembly.
• No specialized plumbing skills required for standard setups.

What materials and durability can I expect from this kit?

The kit is molded from durable plastics and includes a flexible rubber washer to maintain a watertight seal. While designed for outdoor pool and stock tank use, avoid prolonged UV exposure and freezing conditions to preserve thread integrity and the washer’s elasticity.

• Durable plastic construction resists routine pool-use wear.
• Rubber washer provides a reliable seal when seated correctly.
• Not intended for continuous high-pressure industrial systems.
• Protect from extreme cold and direct sunlight when possible.
