Applications
Install SA series strainers vertically oriented above the outside waterline if possible. As with any plumbing system, the components will function with greater efficiency when restrictions are kept to a minimum. When planning the plumbing for SA Series Strainers assure that 90degree bends are utilized only when necessary and that hoses and fittings have as large and ID as possible. Use Groco full flow fittings if you can. Double clamp all hose connections and use TFE thread tape on threaded connections. Install SA series strainers in a location that allows for filter basket service. Use brackets on the valve body and on the end caps to mount to a sturdy bulkhead or stringer. Observe Inlet and Outlet markings on the strainer head. Ports are threaded for NPT connections. Important maintenance note The sole purpose of the outside tie rods is to hold the strainer assembly together while the wingnut has been removed from the center tie rod for filter basket cleaning. If the sight glass gaskets are in serviceable condition they will seal by tightening the center tie rod only. Do not overtighten the outside tie rods in an attempt to seal leaking sight glass gaskets, as this may bend the strainer base casting install a service kit.
