Item 5 in that diagram is an IPS plug. It can easily be removed and fitted with an appropriate sized ball valve to facilitate rapid cleaning of the strainer without disassembly.

Craig, I have a 50 micron krill filter, then a 20 micron filter, then the 5 micron. The first two are fine for a season, but the 5 micron clog up in around 8 hours due to the tiny critter load we have up here. I gather it is different in parts south, but here, there is a whole lot of life in the water smaller than 20 microns.
