Sure-Flo Fittings

Sure-Flo Fittings makes aluminum foot valves, standard and self-cleaning strainers, and suction line accessories such as couplers, elbows, flanges, plugs and adapters. The company has been producing irrigation and suction line products since 1932, serving agriculture, turf management, municipal and water treatment customers. Its self-cleaning strainers are built for lakes, ponds and streams, where a small amount of pump discharge water spins the screen to clear leaves, algae and aquatic plants.

Sure-Flo is a fourth-generation family business now run by Tom, Matt and Fred Wilkins. Pricing and purchasing are handled through local irrigation dealers rather than directly from the company, so customers who want to buy should ask a dealer first. The company is at 2077 South State Street on Ann Arbor's south side, with a mailing address at P.O. Box 1363.
