I have two Sendure Y strainers. Finally figured out they are strainers.
The SS or monel baskets were missing when I got the boat. So I went to the craft store, got plastic mesh board and rolled it into a tube. Then used copper wire to hand stitch it thru its many holes.
I have since found out I could buy new strainer sleeves, but the ones I made are working fine.
Being plastic, they will not cut you. The end cap holds them in place. They baskets are about 6 inches long and sit in a recess inside. A little heat from a heat gun helps if the material wants to crack as you roll it.
This Y strainer is from 1970 and still in good shape. Back then the installer used bronze pipe ni[pples cut off for hose attaching. Even though no expanded ends, in 45 years a hose has never come off. I prefer it the way it is since I can get a hose off if necessary, The hose attached is that heavy wall spiral metal rubber hose. one end screws into an elbow attached to the sea cock thru a 90* elbow. That does create a lever arm on the thru-hull, so I am thinking maybe clamp the hose end to the wood stringer right next to it. But it has not yet been a problem in 45 years. Other thing is there is a floor, (joist) runs along and holds plywood floor in the ER, so I could create support blocks under the end. Here I am just talking outloud.
The OEM Sendure is designed simply as an inline strainer. So could be just inserted freely into a hose.I could buy 2 more bronze pipe nipples, cut them in half and do that, then this would just sort of lay there with the hose.
