The Groco ARG-755-P is a raw water strainer with 3/4 inch NPT threaded ports and a plastic filter basket. The head is cast from C84400 bronze, and a one-piece molded sight glass removes the need for tie rods and gaskets. The mounting system lets you take the strainer off without tools, and bonding connections are provided on both sides. Its open area ratio is 24, and it carries UL Listed 255-D.
Our take
The sight glass is one molded piece with no tie rods or gaskets, and the mounting system comes off without tools, so the plastic basket on this Groco can be inspected and cleaned without a toolbox. The open area ratio is 24.
From our buying guide
Makers disagree on where to mount a strainer: Groco's installation sheet recommends above the waterline, and Westerbeke's generator manual says at or below it. Perko says to consult the engine manual for pipe size and strainer location.
Check before you buy:
- It matches your pipe size, since Perko says reducers may cause engine damage and are not recommended.
- You can reach the basket, since Groco says to inspect and clean it frequently.
- Open-area figures are compared within one maker, since each states its own measure.
