Installation Notes
Turn off the pump and relieve system pressure. Remove the existing relief assembly and inspect the port threads. Install the new 172855 strainer assembly, hand-tighten and finish with a tool if required. Ensure no leaks and proper air venting, then restore circulation and monitor system behavior.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the air relief strainer each service interval: ensure the mesh is clean, the rubber base is intact and air is venting freely. Replace immediately if flow is restricted or the body is damaged to maintain filter performance and prevent bubbles or pressure irregularities.
