GROCO ARG-2500 Series 2-1/2" Raw Water Strainer Monel Basket - ARG-2500

Robust Filtration and Design

The ARG-2500 is part of GROCO's premier series, known for its tie-rod-free design. This eliminates the common leak points and gaskets found in older style strainers.

• Monel Filter Basket: Unlike standard 304 stainless steel, the Monel basket is virtually immune to the pitting and corrosion caused by constant saltwater exposure, ensuring long-term reliability.

• One-Piece Sight Glass: Features a durable, molded acrylic cylinder that provides a clear view of the basket for easy inspection without the structural weakness of traditional tie rods.

• Tool-Free Maintenance: The spin-off wingnut cap and quick-release mounting strap allow you to clean the basket or remove the entire unit for service without specialized tools.

• Bronze Construction: The head casting is made from C84400 bronze, providing a sturdy, professional-grade foundation that handles high-flow conditions.

Technical Specifications

Maintenance & Compatibility

For routine maintenance, this strainer uses the ARG-756 Drain Plug (for units built after 2008). If you are installing this on a high-demand vessel, it pairs perfectly with the Paragon Senior 12V Water Pressure System for a complete commercial-grade plumbing setup.
