POTABLE WATER STRAINER 170-06X

Installation and Maintenance Instructions

The SHURflo strainer prevents damage to the pump by trapping small particles and debris. The strainer uses a #50 mesh screen to trap foreign debris and particulates larger than .02 in.[.3mm].

The strainer is designed for installation directly to the SHURflo pump (inlet side). The threaded configuration (-061) is designed for use with SHURflo taper-seal swivel fittings, which work in conjunction with the pumps threaded ports. The strainer can be installed in any convenient, visible, easy to inspect location between the water supply (tank) and the pump. The strainers transparent material allows for quick visual inspection for determining if the stainless steel screen should be cleaned. When correctly installed, no tools are required to open, hand disassembly is quick and simple due to the twist-lock feature.

CAUTION: The 170 Strainer series is not approved for marine raw water applications. Only the SHURflo 252 series strainer is approved for marine raw water/below water line applications. The 252 series is designed with screen capacity and durability necessary for the rigors of raw water use.

INSTALLATION

1. Close the valve or drain water source (tank) as necessary. OPEN a faucet to relieve pressure within the line, then switch OFF power to the pump. This procedure will purge most of the water in the inlet

(suction) water line, however use a pan or bucket to collect any remaining water.

NOTE: Other electrical components in the vicinity should be switched OFF to prevent electrical shock.

2. When installed directly to the inlet (suction) side of a SHURflo pump (male threads) or other plastic fitting, hand-tighten until snug (max. torque 3 ft/Lb. [1.4 Kg]).

NOTE: Do not use any thread sealer or Teflon tape on pump threads.

3. The inlet of the strainer should be plumbed with flexible tubing approved for potable water use. The use of flexible tubing allows convenient disassembly for cleaning and reduces noise transmission during pump operation. Securely clamp all tubing connections with stainless steel clamps.

CAUTION: Impact or vibrations transmitted through rigid (plastic/metal) pipe could cause the strainer to crack.

4. Check that the cover is in the locked (clockwise) position. Open the water source valve and switch ON any power turned off previously. Open the faucet and allow the pump to operate, purging the system of any trapped air. Inspect strainer and connections for leaks.

(suction) water line, however use pan or bucket to collect any remaining water.

NOTE: Other electrical components in the vicinity should be switched OFF to prevent electrical shock.

2. Support the housing while turning the cover "ears" counterclockwise, until the tabs align in the notches. Carefully wiggle the cover out of the housing to overcome the seal of the O-ring.

3. The strainer screen can be removed to aid in cleaning.

4. Reinstall the screen in the housing. Apply petroleum jelly to the O-ring to assure a positive seal.

5. Align the locking tabs of the cover in the notches of the housing. Push together then turn clockwise until in the "locked" position.

6. Open the water source valve and switch ON any power turned off previously. Open the faucet and allow the pump to operate. Inspect strainer and connections for leaks.
