Hotel Whiskey Tank Outlet Strainer?

What are people using for a finger strainer on the outlet of Hotel Whiskey extended tanks (if any)? The bung is 1/4" female pipe thread so a standard 3/8" finger strainer won't work. Can't find any 1/4" strainers or screen that could somehow be connected to an AN fitting - similar to current RV-10 outlet strainer - which is larger than 1/4" NPT.
 
Rob---you pretty much have to make one from the AN822-4-4D.
But remember what PITA it will be to tear things apart to check/clean it.

Hoping to find a screen sleeve that can be prosealed into the AN822-4-4D fitting.

Although a pain to check (I have access panels), even if it wasn't checked, it would prevent large debris from entering the main tanks or getting lodged in the hose connecting the two tanks.
 
Searched for a while with no results so made my own. The finger strainers made by Hotel Whiskey are really poor. These new ones with 16x16 316 SS are awesome. Cut a 1.5" piece of 7mm tube and prosealed into the AN fitting. Then rolled screen on a smaller tube and it fit tight on the protriding 7mm tube. Prosealed it on the tube and bent end of screen to close it up and added proseal there. The original from HW is in upper right.
