Groco ARG-1210-S Intake Strainer, 1-1/4 Inch NPT Bronze Body with Stainless Steel Basket

The Groco ARG-1210-S is a 1-1/4 inch NPT intake strainer built with a bronze body and a stainless steel filter basket, designed to protect a boat's raw water intake from debris while resisting the corrosive effects of saltwater. The strainer features a non-metallic magnifying cap that will not corrode or bind over time, letting you visually inspect the basket for buildup without disassembling the unit. O-rings seal all joining surfaces, and all ports are NPT threaded for a secure, leak-resistant connection into the intake line.

The improved basket design is built to handle saltwater environments and larger debris such as rocks, while an improved handle makes basket removal easier during cleaning. An improved drain plug allows the strainer to be drained without removing the entire basket assembly. The design eliminates the need for tie rods or gaskets found on older strainer designs, simplifying long-term maintenance. Service is done through the screw-on cap, and bonding connections are provided on both sides of the housing for proper electrical bonding. Mounting hardware is included, making the ARG-1210-S ready to install on a raw water intake system without sourcing separate fasteners.
