- PVC screen with 0.13-inch mesh traps debris effectively
- Rated to 100 psi at 70 °F for reliable pressure handling
Purpose and Fit
The Hayward SBC200STE18 is a 2-inch basket strainer designed for industrial plumbing systems that require debris filtration. It suits installers who need a single-unit strainer with both socket and threaded connections for flexible pipe joining.
Who It Suits and Who It Does Not
This unit works for lines operating up to 100 psi at 100 degrees Fahrenheit and fluid temperatures not exceeding 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It is not for systems that exceed those pressure or temperature limits, nor for applications needing a mesh finer than 0.13 inch or a cover that can be removed only with tools.
Deciding Specification
The Eastar housing combined with a PVC screen handles the stated 100 psi maximum pressure and 70-degree-Fahrenheit maximum temperature, making those two ratings the primary check before installation.

Questions about this item
How often will the PVC screen with .13 in mesh need cleaning or replacement?
The PVC screen traps debris at .13 in mesh; cleaning frequency depends on the debris load in your system, and the hand-removable cover allows quick access for inspection or screen replacement when flow drops.
What pressure limit will the Eastar housing reach first during continuous operation?
The housing is rated for 100 psi maximum pressure and 65 psi at 100 °F, so sustained high-temperature flow will hit the 65 psi limit before the 100 psi ceiling.
How much heat does the strainer add to the line when running all day at 70 °F water temperature?
The strainer is a passive component with no moving parts or power draw, so it adds negligible heat; the 70 °F maximum temperature rating simply defines the safe fluid temperature for the Eastar housing and PVC screen.
