Product Overview
Replacement pick-up strainer for the B&G Flex-A-Lite 2600 ULV fogger. It filters solution on the intake side, protecting the pump and the nozzle from debris.
What It Fits
This is B&G Equipment part 2312 (order number 29108140), item 27 in B&G's own parts list for the Flex-A-Lite 2600. CCW sells that machine as the B&G Flex-A-Lite 2600 ULV Fogger.
Why the Strainer Matters on a ULV Fogger
A ULV fogger works by forcing solution through a very small orifice to produce a controlled droplet size. B&G's published figures for the Flex-A-Lite 2600 show how fine that control is:
| Nozzle setting | Flow | Droplet size (VMD) |
| Quarter turn | 9.76 mL/min | 40 microns |
| Half turn | 22.19 mL/min | 44 microns |
| Three-quarter turn | 35.50 mL/min | 52 microns |
| One turn | 73.96 mL/min | 56 microns |
Anything that partially blocks that orifice changes droplet size, and droplet size is what determines whether the fog stays suspended and reaches the surfaces you are treating. Keeping the strainer clean is not housekeeping — it is what keeps the machine doing the job you bought it for.
B&G's manual also warns not to fill the tank beyond 1.5 US gallons (5.7 litres).

Frequently Asked Questions
Which machine is this for?
The B&G Flex-A-Lite 2600, which CCW sells as the B&G Flex-A-Lite 2600 ULV Fogger. It is a B&G part, not a Hydro-Force one, despite the AS40 prefix in our SKU.
How often should I clean or replace it?
No interval is published. Clean it whenever you change chemistry and inspect it any time output or droplet quality drops off.
Will a blocked strainer damage the machine?
It starves the pump and changes the droplet size. Neither is good, and the second one quietly undermines the treatment.
What mesh is it?
Not published by B&G or any distributor. We have asked.

What We See in the Field
Foggers hate dirty solution. The pickup strainer is the cheap sacrificial part that keeps fibres, crystals and tank debris away from the nozzle and metering system, so removing it to improve flow is false economy.
Fogging output dropped off? Check the strainer before you look at the pump — contact us if you need help diagnosing it.
