Introduction
The Vetus cooling water strainers model
1320/ 1900 are equipped with a transparant
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 table at page 17, the
capacity depends of the diameter of the
hose connection.
Parallel connection
By connection of 2 water strainers in paral-
lel (see 'Installation examples', drawing 3) 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 4) it is pos-
sible to clean each filter separately while the
engine is running.

Installation
Install the water strainer always above the
waterline. Use the 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.
To prevent damage to the housing (model
1320) or to the flanges (model 1900) it is not
allowed to use a stand-pipe or a hose pillar
with tapered thread, see drawing 5. Also a
too large screw-in length of the thread may
damage the housing or the flanges, see
drawing 6.
Use a teflon tape as sealant for the connec-
tions.
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.
