Groco ARG-1210-P Bronze 1-1/4 Inch Raw Water Intake Strainer with Plastic Basket

The Groco ARG-1210-P is a bronze raw water intake strainer sized for 1-1/4 inch thru-hull plumbing, built to protect a boat's raw water cooling and washdown systems from debris, weed, and sediment before it reaches the pump. The strainer uses a non-metallic, one-piece molded sight glass cap that magnifies the internal view of the basket, letting an owner check for blockage at a glance without disassembling the housing. Construction eliminates the tie rods and gaskets found on older strainer designs, relying instead on a molded cap that seals against the bronze body with O-rings on all joining surfaces for a reliable, leak-resistant seal.

Inside, an improved plastic poly filter basket traps debris while allowing full water flow to the pump. The basket lifts out for cleaning through a tool-free mounting system, so routine maintenance does not require wrenches or special hardware. An improved drain plug makes winterizing and draining the strainer body straightforward. Bonding connections are provided on both sides of the housing, allowing the strainer to be tied into the boat's bonding system for corrosion protection. This strainer is intended for above-ground, manually operated installation in raw water intake lines feeding engines, generators, air conditioning, or washdown pumps.
