GROCO ARG-500 0.5-Inch Raw Water Strainer, Plastic Basket

The GROCO ARG-500 0.5-Inch Raw Water Strainer, Plastic Basket protects compatible marine engines, generators, air-conditioning equipment, and other raw-water systems by trapping debris before it reaches downstream pumps or heat exchangers. Its serviceable basket gives a first line of defense against weeds, shells, and other material drawn through the intake.

The ARG-series design uses a one-piece molded sight glass for easy visual inspection and a removable non-metallic plastic basket for cleaning. O-ring-sealed joining surfaces, bonding provisions, and a service-oriented mounting system help simplify routine inspection and maintenance in demanding marine installations.

Confirm port size, thread type, flow requirements, mounting position, bonding arrangement, hose or pipe compatibility, and service clearance before installation. Keep the sight glass and basket accessible, clean collected debris before flow becomes restricted, inspect seals during reassembly, and check the raw-water circuit for leaks before operation. See our other bilge and water pumps.

• The basket intercepts material before it reaches pumps and heat exchangers.
• The molded sight glass makes the basket condition easy to see.
