Vetus 525 Instructions D'installation page 4

Introduction
The Vetus cooling water strainers model
525 are equipped with a transparent lid,
inspection therefore, can be carried out
without opening of the strainer.
Due to the large active surface the strainer
seldom needs to be cleaned.
In a standard installation situation (see
'Installation examples', drawing 1 and 2) the
capacity is as per technical data.
Parallel connection
By connection of 2 water strainers in paral-
lel (see 'Installation examples, drawing 2) a
larger capacity can be obtained.
By connection of 2 water strainers in paral-
lel with the use of 2 extra valves (see
'Installation examples, drawing 3) it is pos-
sible to clean each filter separately while the
engine is running.

Installation
Install the water strainer always above the
waterline.
Use brackets to mount the strainer
against a vertical bulkhead.
Install always a sea-cock on the water inlet
scoop!
Install the water strainer with the inlet direct-
ly to a stand-pipe, see drawing 1, or con-
nect the inlet by means of hose pillar and a
flexible hose, see drawing 2.
Use a teflon tape as sealant for the con-
nections.
To connect the strainer to the engine always
a hose pillar and a flexible hose should be
used.
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.
