Pentair 8" Cast Iron Hair and Lint Trap 3" Suction | Commercial Strainer | PKG98

The Pentair PKG98 is an 8-inch cast iron hair and lint trap designed for high-flow commercial and heavy-duty residential pump applications requiring robust pre-pump straining capacity with a 3-inch suction connection.

This trap intercepts hair, lint, and large debris before it reaches the pump impeller, protecting pump internals and maintaining flow efficiency. The large-capacity cast iron body is engineered for extended maintenance intervals, and the corrosion-resistant stainless steel basket provides long service life in demanding environments. The top-access cover with wing-type fasteners allows the basket to be serviced at the pump without removing the unit from its installed position. No pea gravel is required — the unit ships ready for service. The ANSI-rated flange bolt pattern simplifies plumbing connections, and the high-flow design supports capacities up to 170 GPM with minimal friction loss.

Pro Tip

Confirm your existing trap's body size (8") and suction port diameter (3") against this listing before ordering — Pentair's commercial hair and lint trap range includes multiple body sizes and connection configurations. The ANSI flange bolt pattern on the PKG98 is a key differentiator for commercial plumbing tie-ins; verify your mating flange pattern matches before installation. Consult manufacturer specifications for discharge connection size and full dimensional data.
