Groco SA-1000 1 Inch NPT Raw Water Strainer, Bronze with Stainless Steel Filter Basket

The Groco SA-1000 is a 1 inch NPT raw water strainer built to protect marine engines, generators, and AC units from debris in the cooling water supply. It is installed on the suction side of the pump to filter raw water before it reaches the engine's cooling system, helping prevent clogs and damage from sand, weeds, and other intake debris.

The strainer body is constructed of C84400 bronze for corrosion resistance in a marine environment, and it comes standard with a #304 stainless steel filter basket that catches debris while allowing water to flow freely. A crystal clear cast acrylic cylinder forms the strainer housing, giving a clear view of the basket and water flow so buildup can be spotted at a glance without disassembling the unit. Service is handled through a spin-off wingnut design, allowing the cylinder to be removed and the basket cleaned without tools.

The SA-1000 uses 1 inch NPT threaded connections and is sized per the manufacturer's dimensional diagram at 10.5 inches, 5.5 inches, 5 inches, and 2.8 inches across its reference points. It is a straightforward, serviceable strainer for boat owners who need reliable raw water filtration with easy visual inspection and quick cleaning.
