Cooling water strainer model 525
Introduction
The Vetus cooling water strainers model 525
are equipped with a transparent lid, inspec-
tion therefore, can be carried out without
opening of the strainer.
Due to the large active surface the strainer sel-
dom needs to be cleaned.
In a standard installation situation (see ‘Instal-
lation examples’, drawing 1 and 2) the capacity
is as per technical data.
Parallel connection
By connection of 2 water strainers in parallel
with the use of 2 extra valves (see ‘Installation
example, drawing 3) it is possible to clean each
lter separately while the engine is running.
Installation
• Install the water strainer always above the
waterline.
• Use brackets to mount the strainer against a
vertical bulkhead.
• Install always a sea-cock on the water inlet
scoop!
• Install the water strainer with the inlet di-
rectly to a stand-pipe, see drawing 1, or con-
nect the inlet by means of hose pillar and a
exible hose, see drawing 2.
• Use a teon tape as sealant for the connec-
tions.
• To connect the strainer to the engine always
a hose pillar and a exible hose should be
used.
• Use only water and/or soap to ease tting
the hoses to the hose pillars and never prod-
ucts containing grease or oil.
• Fit each hose connection with 2 stainless
steel hose clamps.
