INTAKE STRAINER

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
Tru-Design Intake Strainers, manufactured in New Zealand, are advanced composite solutions designed to prevent large objects from entering water intakes on marine vessels. The Scoop Strainer is ideal for moving vessels, while the Round Strainer is suited for stationary applications. These strainers eliminate corrosion and electrical bonding issues associated with metallic fittings and can be painted with anti-foul without corrosion concerns.
Models
The product line includes various models such as the Scoop Strainer in sizes ¾”, 1¼”, and 2”, and the Round Strainer in 1¼”. Each model is designed to fit specific skin fitting sizes.
Key Features
  • Constructed from glass-reinforced nylon composite, offering high strength and lightweight properties.
  • Compatible with all hull types, including aluminum, steel, wood, and FRP.
  • Resistant to corrosion, electrolysis, chemicals, and UV light.
  • High-quality surface finish that does not discolor.
  • Can be painted with antifouling paints, maintaining adhesion without the need for grinding.
Specifications
The strainers are available in different sizes with specific flow areas and area ratios to skin fittings, ensuring efficient water intake management.
Installation
Intake Strainers are mounted to the hull using self-tapping screws. Installation involves drilling pilot holes, sealing with silicone, and securing the strainer. They can be painted with anti-foul to prevent marine growth and do not require electrical bonding.
Servicing
Minimal servicing is required due to the composite material's immunity to corrosion. Regular checks for damage and cleaning are recommended upon hauling out.

INTAKE STRAINER-1

PRODUCT INFORMATION INTAKE STRAINER Designed and made in New Zealand, Tru-Design Intake Strainers are the superior composite strainer solution. The Scoop Strainer is designed to divert large objects away from water intakes while the vessel is moving. This helps eliminate problems with seaweed/seagrass, sticks or rubbish being sucked into engine intakes and blocking or clogging intake filters. The strainer acts as a course first stage filter that is cleaned by water movement. The Round Strainer is designed for use in stationary applications where there is a risk of sucking in unwanted objects. Tru-Design Intake Strainers eliminate the corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings. They can be painted over with anti-foul, and can be faired into the hull without concerns of corrosion. MODELS Part # Doc: PIS - Intake Strainers 3.1.doc LEADERS IN MARINE COMPOSITE FITTINGS

INTAKE STRAINER-4

PRODUCT INFORMATION INSTALLATION Intake Strainers are designed to be screwed to the hull. Four mounting holes are located on each fitting. Tru-Design recommend using self-tapping screws that go half way into the hull thickness (not right through). Small pilot holes should be drilled then filled with silicone or another suitable sealant. A bead of silicone can then be put around the lip of the strainer before offering the strainer up to the hull and installing the 4 self-tapping screws. Use your finger to clean up any sealant that may have squeezed out from the strainer lip after tightening the...
