It is built for industrial and marine use and is CE listed. The strainer screws directly onto the pump head, and its swivel nut design lets you rotate and orient the outlet hose before tightening, which makes alignment and installation easier than a fixed twist-on strainer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside the clear plastic housing is a 50 mesh stainless steel screen that catches sediment and debris before it can reach and damage the pump. The transparent bowl construction means you can see at a glance when the screen needs cleaning, without having to disassemble the unit to check. When cleaning is needed, the strainer disassembles easily for cleaning and reassembles just as easily, so maintenance takes only a few minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inlet port is a 1\/2 inch barb straight fitting, and the outlet port is a 1\/2 inch NPT connection secured with a hex wing nut for tool-free tightening. The unit is rated to a maximum temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for typical RV and marine freshwater pump plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shurflo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 255-325\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch Barb Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch NPT, Hex Wing Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScreen:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 Mesh Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.75 inches W x 2.25 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 752324010271\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size fittings does the Shurflo 255-325 strainer use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Shurflo 255-325 has a 1\/2 inch barb straight inlet port and a 1\/2 inch NPT outlet port secured with a hex wing nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the swivel nut design let me do?\u003c\/strong\u003e The swivel nut on the 255-325 lets you rotate and orient the outlet hose before tightening it down, so you can line up the plumbing without twisting the hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat mesh size is the screen?\u003c\/strong\u003e A 50 mesh stainless steel screen is used to catch sediment and debris before it reaches the pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know when the strainer needs cleaning?\u003c\/strong\u003e The housing is clear plastic, so you can see the screen and bowl directly and tell at a glance when debris has built up and cleaning is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this strainer easy to clean?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 255-325 disassembles easily for cleaning and reassembles just as easily, so maintenance does not require special tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum operating temperature?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Shurflo 255-325 is rated to a maximum temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the strainer housing made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 255-325 strainer housing is made of clear plastic construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the strainer?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Shurflo 255-325 measures 4.75 inches wide by 2.25 inches high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the strainer weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Shurflo 255-325 weighs 0.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this strainer suitable for marine use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 255-325 is built for industrial and marine use and is CE listed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does this strainer install?\u003c\/strong\u003e It screws directly onto the pump head at the inlet, ahead of the pump, to filter incoming water before it reaches the pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from a standard twist-on strainer?\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike a fixed twist-on strainer, the 255-325 uses a swivel nut on the outlet, allowing you to orient the connected hose after the strainer body is tightened in place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shurflo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49029558862043,"sku":"SHU-255-325","price":15.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/255-325__01498.1722362853.500.750.jpg?v=1785165652","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/shurflo-fresh-water-swivel-nut-strainer-1-2-inch-barb-inlet-part-255-325","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
