Install / Failure Note

Griffco's own technical-information page states it does not make material-compatibility recommendations for specific customer applications — on a municipal Y-strainer quote, the material call (CPVC vs. 316SS vs. PVC) has to be confirmed against the actual process water by the specifier, not assumed from the catalog listing.

A strainer reads like a commodity part, but screen perforation and body material are two very different filtration targets — Hayward's 800-micron standard screen and Griffco's 20-to-325-mesh range aren't interchangeable, and picking the wrong one just moves the debris problem downstream instead of solving it.

Every claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Confirm current specifications with the manufacturer before final specification.
