The Vetus FTR330 Series Cooling Water Strainer is a relatively low maintenance strainer that is designed to handle multiple gallons per minute of water flow. Its transparent cover makes inspections a breeze and because it is removeable, the filter element is easy to clean.
Features:
- Cooling water strainer
- Includes a transparent cover for easy inspection of the filter content. Cover is removable by simply unscrewing a single central knob
- The strainer can be easily mounted using the separate wall bracket
- Strainer can be rotated 360 to align the hose connections
- The polished stainless steel mounting bracket clamps it securely in place
- Parallel connection of (2) strainers can be done (strainers are sold individually)
- With (2) water strainers in parallel a larger capacity can be obtained
- With (2) water strainers in parallel and with the use of (2) extra valves (valves sold separately) it is possible to clean each filter separately, while the engine is running
- Low maintenance: The filter element requires infrequent cleaning due to the large, active surface area
