Seawater Strainer 2-1/2″ 

The Seawater Strainer 2-1/2″ is a robust and reliable solution designed to protect marine engines, pumps, and cooling systems from debris and contaminants present in seawater. Whether installed on yachts, fishing boats, or commercial vessels, this strainer ensures smooth system performance and prevents costly damage to vital onboard equipment.

Durable Marine-Grade Construction

Crafted with a Stainless Steel 316 body, this strainer is built to resist the harsh effects of saltwater exposure, ensuring exceptional durability and long service life. The top plate, made of see-through polycarbonate, allows crew members to quickly inspect the filter basket without dismantling the unit—making routine checks fast and effortless.

A neoprene O-ring provides a reliable watertight seal, maintaining system integrity even under varying pressure conditions. Inside, the filter basket and bolts are manufactured from AISI 316L stainless steel, a marine-grade material known for its superior corrosion resistance and strength. The side inlet design makes installation flexible, accommodating different piping layouts onboard.
