## Before you buy

- The listing describes the item as an in-line strainer, while its customer-feedback summary calls it a food strainer. Confirm the intended application and connection compatibility before ordering. The listed package measurements and 5 g item weight are also unusually different in scale, so treat them as listing details rather than confirmed product dimensions.

- Repair and maintenance buyers who need the listed mesh opening size to suit their application.

## Less suited to

- Buyers who need confirmed dimensions, weight or application details before establishing fit.

## Customer feedback

Match the connection sizes to the installation.
