AVD Series Vertical Duplex Bronze Strainers

When engines, generators, air conditioners, refrigeration equipment, or other accessories must run continuously, and cannot be shut down for filter cleaning, a Groco duplex strainer is ideal. The dual filter design allows one filter to remain in constant service while the other is being cleaned.

These model AVD duplex strainers are compliant with ABS standards for inspected vessels, having cast bronze heads and 316 stainless steel enclosures - no plastic - for installations where an enclosure is advised or required by regulation..
