  • Eastar housing resists corrosion and chemical exposure

Basket Strainer for 1-1/2 Inch Plumbing

The Hayward SBC150STE18 basket strainer is built for 1-1/2 inch piping in pool and spa circulation systems. It uses an Eastar housing rated for 100 psi maximum pressure. The unit suits installers who need a durable, transparent body for visual inspection of debris collection.

Socket and Threaded Connections Simplify Fitment

Both socket and threaded ends are provided so the strainer can be solvent-welded or screwed into existing PVC lines. The 1/8 inch mesh PVC screen offers 86.44 square inches of open area. Over-tightening threaded joints or using incompatible sealants can stress the Eastar housing and cause leaks.

Pressure and Temperature Limits Define Safe Use

The Eastar housing is rated to 100 psi at the temperatures typical for residential pool plumbing. It is not rated for steam, high-temperature hydronic loops, or pressures above the stated maximum. Installers must verify that system pressure and fluid temperature stay within these boundaries to avoid housing failure.

Questions about this item

Verify the pressure gauge reads at or below 100 psi and inspect the clear Eastar housing for debris capture without leaks at the EPDM gasket.

What components are included and what must I source separately?

The unit ships with the Eastar basket, PVC screen, and EPDM gasket; you will need to supply 1-1/2 inch PVC pipe, primer, cement, and thread sealant for the socket/threaded connections.

Which configuration suits my 1-1/2 inch plumbing running at 100 psi?

This SBC150STE18 model is built for 1-1/2 inch socket/threaded pipe, 100 psi maximum pressure, and 1/8 inch mesh filtration — select it when those three specs match your system.
