Common Concerns Answered
I have an older Groco ARG strainer and am unsure if the O-rings will fit.
The ARG-3 kit accounts for production date variations by including separate drain plug O-rings for models manufactured pre and post August 1, 2001, ensuring optimal compatibility for a wider range of ARG series strainers.
Are the O-rings prone to installation issues?
While proper installation is key, the kit provides genuine Groco replacement parts designed for precise fitment, minimizing common installation difficulties when attention is paid to seating each component correctly.
Does this kit include the strainer basket?
This kit is specifically designed to replace the seals and washers of your Groco ARG series strainer, not the strainer basket itself. It ensures the housing components are properly sealed for effective filtration.
