Vetus 525 Instructions D'installation page 4

Introduction
The Vetus cooling water strainers model 525
are equipped with a transparent lid, inspec­
tion therefore, can be carried out without
opening of the strainer.
Due to the large active surface the strainer sel­
dom needs to be cleaned.
In a standard installation situation (see 'Instal­
lation examples' , drawing 1 and 2) the capacity
is as per technical data.
Parallel connection
By connection of 2 water strainers in parallel
with the use of 2 extra valves (see 'Installation
example, drawing 3) it is possible to clean each
filter separately while the engine is running.
