Heavy-duty Guidi 1162 Series style nickel-plated bronze raw water strainer, which is highly common in European yacht builds, commercial vessels, and premium marine engine cooling systems.
Unlike the previous models featuring external vertical rods and fully exposed plexiglass cylinders, this specific style leverages a low-profile integrated casting that optimizes strength, minimizes air leak paths, and uses a top-access inspection port.
Key Features of the Guidi 1162 Series Design
• Integrated Metal Body: The main structural body is entirely cast from a single piece of heavy-walled bronze or nickel-plated bronze. This rigid profile resists external stresses, pipe shifting, and deep engine room pressures far better than units reliant on clamping rods.
• Top-Facing Observation Cover: The top features a durable polycarbonate or thick glass viewing disc. Instead of inspecting the strainer body from the side, a boat operator simply glances down at the clear top plate to inspect the condition of the internal filtration element.
• Multi-Bolt Top Gasket Fastening: The top lid is secured uniformly by robust hex bolts into the primary flange casing. This delivers a heavy-duty compression seal that ensures zero vacuum loss (air introduction) during operation.
• Bottom Drain Plug: Includes a distinct brass threaded drain plug at the very bottom of the cylinder base, allowing you to drain salt water or trapped silt completely before unscrewing the lid for basket cleanings.
