Cooling water strainer model 140
Introduction
The Vetus cooling water strainers model 140 are equipped with
a transparant lid, inspection therefore, can be carried out with-
out opening of the strainer.
Due to the large active surface the strainer seldom needs to be
cleaned.
In a standard installation situation (see 'Installation example',
drwg 1) the capacity is as per technical data, the capacity
depends of the diameter of the hose connection.
Installation
Install the water strainer always above the waterline. Mount the
strainer against a vertical bulkhead.
Install always a sea-cock on the water inlet scoop!
Use for both connections, water scoop to strainer and strainer
to engine, always flexible hose.
Use only water and/or soap to ease fitting the hoses to the hose
pillars and never products containing grease or oil.
Fit each hose connection with 2 stainless steel hose clamps.
Use and maintenance
Inspect the strainer element regularly for contaminents.
N.B. The lid doesn't need to be removed for inspection.
Clean the strainer element if dirt has accumulated. Close the
seacock before unscrewing the lid of the water strainer, see
drwg 2. Remove the strainer element out of the housing and
flush the strainer with clean water. Re-install the strainer ele-
ment, grease the O-ring and the thread with e.g. silicone oil or
teflon based spray, see drwg 4, and reinstall the lid.
N.B. Secure or loosen the lid always manually. Never use tools
for this purpose, see drwg 2 and 3.
Check the seal between lid and housing after cleaning and re-
assembling the strainer. An improperly sealed lid will result in
air sucked in by the sea water pump of the engine which again
will result in overheating of the engine.
To prevent damage of the water strainer, during frost in the
winter time, either the water must be drained or the installation
must be filled with anti-freeze.
Remove the hoses to drain the strainer; the housing is not
equipped with a drain plug.
Take care that during filling with anti-freeze no anti-freeze is
spilled into the waterway. Anti-freeze is poisonous.
