Seawater Strainer 1-1/2″ 

The Seawater Strainer 1-1/2″ is designed to deliver efficient and dependable protection for marine engines, pumps, and auxiliary equipment by preventing debris, seaweed, and suspended particles from entering vital systems. Engineered with premium marine-grade materials, this strainer is ideal for yachts, small boats, and medium-sized vessels where space efficiency and reliability are essential.

Robust Marine-Grade Construction

The body of the strainer is manufactured from Stainless Steel 316, ensuring exceptional resistance to corrosion, even in the most demanding saltwater environments. The see-through polycarbonate top plate allows for quick inspection of the filter basket, enabling boat owners and crew to monitor seawater flow and debris buildup without dismantling the unit.

A neoprene O-ring ensures a watertight seal, preventing leaks during operation at varying pressures. The filter basket and bolts are made from AISI 316L stainless steel, providing durability, longevity, and resistance to corrosion. Designed with a bottom inlet, this strainer allows flexible installation, especially where piping arrangements require a vertical flow orientation.

Technical Specifications

• Body: Stainless Steel 316

• Top Plate: Transparent Polycarbonate

• O-ring: Neoprene

• Filter Basket & Bolts: AISI 316L Stainless Steel

• Inlet/Outlet Size: 1-1/2″
