It features a 1\/2 inch pipe inlet and screws directly onto the pump head using its swivel nut fitting, making installation straightforward without special tools. The clear, clean plastic bowl construction lets you see at a glance when the strainer needs cleaning, so maintenance is visual rather than guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside the bowl sits a 50 mesh stainless steel screen that catches sediment, sand, and other debris before it reaches the pump inlet, helping extend pump life and maintain consistent water flow. The strainer disassembles easily for cleaning and reassembles just as quickly, so routine upkeep takes only a few minutes. Its compact, lightweight design makes it suitable for tight installation spaces found in marine and RV fresh water systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis strainer is compatible with Shurflo demand pumps that use a 1\/2 inch pipe (MPT) inlet connection. It is sold as a standalone strainer for use ahead of the pump inlet in a fresh water plumbing line.\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 255-315\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Swivel Nut Fresh Water Strainer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch pipe inlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScreen Mesh:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 mesh stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear plastic bowl\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 6.25 inches L x 4.75 inches W x 2.5 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19375 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 752324010264\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh water demand pump filtration for marine and RV use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Shurflo 255-315 strainer connect to?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Shurflo 255-315 has a 1\/2 inch pipe inlet and uses a swivel nut fitting that screws directly onto the pump head, so it installs inline just ahead of the pump inlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size screen mesh does this strainer use?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses a 50 mesh stainless steel screen, fine enough to catch sediment and debris before it reaches the pump while still allowing normal water flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the bowl on the 255-315 strainer clear?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the bowl is made of clear, clean plastic so you can visually check when it is time to clean out the accumulated debris without disassembling it first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean the Shurflo swivel nut strainer?\u003c\/strong\u003e Twist the clear bowl off the strainer body, remove and rinse the 50 mesh stainless steel screen, then reassemble; the 255-315 is designed for easy disassembly and reassembly for routine cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat pumps is the 255-315 strainer compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e This strainer is designed for Shurflo demand pumps that use a 1\/2 inch pipe (MPT) inlet connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Shurflo 255-315 strainer made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The strainer body and bowl are made of clear plastic, paired with a 50 mesh stainless steel screen insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this strainer?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Shurflo 255-315 measures 6.25 inches long by 4.75 inches wide by 2.5 inches high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Shurflo swivel nut strainer weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.19375 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the strainer come with mounting hardware or fittings?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 255-315 is a self-contained twist-on unit with a swivel nut fitting; it screws directly onto the pump head inlet without separate mounting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does my Shurflo pump need an inline strainer like the 255-315?\u003c\/strong\u003e An inline strainer such as the 255-315 keeps debris and particles out of the pump inlet, which reduces wear and helps prevent repairs caused by contaminated fresh water lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 255-315 strainer genuine Shurflo or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 255-315 is a genuine Shurflo swivel nut fresh water strainer, not a generic aftermarket substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shurflo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49029558829275,"sku":"SHU-255-315","price":16.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/255-315_1__56075.1722498678.500.750.jpg?v=1785165652","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/shurflo-swivel-nut-fresh-water-strainer-1-2-inch-pipe-inlet-clear-bowl-part-255-315","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
