Stainless steel strainer adapter with a 1/4 inch female port. One end screws on to the strainer/jet body (1/4 inch male port) and the other has a 1/4 inch female port. Use it to make a solution filter for any tool and stop clogging jets.
This is the stainless steel version of the brass NA0804 adapter, and one of three parts that make up an in-line strainer: adapter, screen and body.
Important: Female or Male Port?
CCW stocks two stainless adapters that look alike. This one (NA0804-SS) has a 1/4 inch female port. If the fitting you are connecting to needs a 1/4 inch male thread instead, you need the Stainless Strainer Adapter 1/4" Male (NA0805-SS). Check the fitting on your solution line before you order.

Building a filter into an existing tool
The strainer body and this adapter together let you insert a serviceable filter into a solution line that did not have one. That is worth doing on any tool where a blocked jet means stripping the head to clear it.
How the Strainer Assembly Goes Together
Working from the solution line towards the jet: strainer adapter, strainer screen, strainer body, then your quick connect or jet cap. The screen sits inside the body. All three parts are needed for a working filter, and each is sold separately.
| Part | Brass | Stainless steel |
|---|---|---|
| Strainer adapter, 1/4 inch female port | NA0804 | NA0804-SS |
| Strainer adapter, 1/4 inch male | — | NA0805-SS |
| Strainer screen, 100 mesh, no check valve | NA0803 | |
| Strainer screen with check valve | NA0825 | NA0825-SS |
| Strainer body, 1/4 inch MPT | NA0802 | NA0802-SS |
Use the screen with a check valve if you want the line to stay primed and stop dribbling when you release the trigger; use the plain screen if you do not need backflow prevention.
Brass or Stainless?
Stainless earns its price where acidic tile and grout chemistry is routine. Brass is adequate for carpet cleaning solution at normal pressure and temperature, and it is cheaper. If you are changing to stainless because of acid chemistry, change all three parts — replacing only one leaves the brass pieces exposed.
Check the thread standard
These are 1/4 inch threads, and carpet cleaning equipment in Australia arrives with both NPT and BSP. The two start together and will not seal. If you are joining equipment from different sources, tell us what you are connecting to.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include the screen and body?
No. This is the adapter only. The screen and body are listed in the table above.
Can I mix brass and stainless parts?
The brass and stainless parts are the same 1/4 inch size. Mixing them works mechanically, but if you chose stainless for chemical resistance, a brass piece in the assembly is the weak point.
Which way round does it go?
The adapter goes on the solution-line side, screwed onto the strainer body with the screen inside. The jet or quick connect goes on the other end of the body.
Tell us the machine or tool and we will confirm the part before you order.
