GROCO ARG-2500 Series 2-1/2" Raw Water Strainer Stainless Steel Basket - ARG-2500-S

The GROCO ARG-2500-S Raw Water Strainer is a high-capacity 2-1/2" NPT filtration unit designed for large marine engines and generators. The "-S" designation indicates it comes equipped with a 304 stainless steel basket, providing a balance of durability and value for standard marine environments.

Reliable Protection for Large Engines

The ARG series is favored by marine professionals for its tie-rod-free design, which eliminates common leak points found in traditional strainers.

• 304 Stainless Steel Basket: Offers excellent filtration for debris and is highly resistant to corrosion in fresh or brackish water.
