• Forespar T-Strainer Raw Water Filter was developed to provide an installation alternative to Forespar's original MF 810 Raw Water strainer
• The screw on clear bucket has a replaceable gasket for a positive seal and ease of cleaning
• The T-150 was tested to -25 inHg vacuum and held for over 60 minutes using only Teflon tape on the threaded connections
• It was subjected to a vibration test of 50,000+ cycles at 1400 cycles per minute for over 35 minutes with no leaks
• Ports: 1-1/2" Female NPSM
  • The 150 raw water strainers have 1 1/2" female NPSM (parallel threads) ports to which you can attach a straight or 900 hose barb tailpipe as needed

  • The included mounting bracket requires (2) 1/4" fasteners (not included) to firmly mount to a bulk head or stringer
  • Allows the "T" head to be rotated as needed
  • A flat washer under the fastener heads is recommended
  • Bracket allows ports to face in any direction

• A seacock is required on the intake thru-hull in the hull and it is advisable to have an inline valve on the back side (outlet) as well so the unit can be completely isolated for basket removal and cleaning without having backflow spillage into your bilge
  • The "T" head should be above the waterline

Note: Forespar threaded plumbing fittings, like most true marine plumbing fittings, use NPSM threads (National Standard Free-Fitting Straight Mechanical Pipe Thread). NPT (National Pipe Threads) are tapered, NPSM Threads are parallel. The two types are not designed to work together.
