About Strainers and Selecting Screen Size

Low-Pressure Iron Y-Strainers
A rugged iron body provides excellent strength and durability. Strainers prevent damage to valves, pumps, nozzles, and other sensitive equipment by catching debris in your pipeline. They are designed for low-pressure applications. Strainers are for use in noncorrosive environments. They have a threaded drain with a plug that provides access to the screen without disconnecting your line.
Strainers with flanged pipe connections allow for easy access to your pipeline; bolt them to a flange with the same pipe size.

Commonly used in high-flow industrial processes, these basket strainers hold more debris than all of our other strainers. Install them prior to valves, pumps, and nozzles in your pipeline to protect sensitive equipment. Strainers should be used in noncorrosive environments. They have a threaded drain with a plug for easy cleaning.
Strainers with flanged pipe connections allow for easy access to your pipeline; bolt them to a flange with the same pipe size.
Strainers with mounting brackets mount to the floor for stability.
To Order: For strainers with a choice between basket mesh size and opening size, select a mesh size for a mesh basket or an opening size for a perforated basket.

Easy-Swap Iron Basket Strainers
- Max. Pressure for Water, Oil, and Diesel Fuel: 150 psi @ 70° F
- Temp. Range: 20° to 150° F
No need to shut down your operation to service your strainer—these have two baskets so you can divert flow to one basket while you work on the other. Turn the valve handle to direct flow. Commonly used in high-flow industrial processes, basket strainers hold more debris all of our other strainers. Install them in your pipeline to prevent particles from damaging sensitive equipment. Strainers should be used in noncorrosive environments. They have a threaded drain with a plug for easy cleaning. Mounting brackets on the bottom allow you to bolt strainers to the floor for stability.
Strainers with flanged pipe connections allow for easy access to your pipeline; bolt them to a flange with the same pipe size.

Slimline Suction Strainers

- For Use With: Oil and Diesel Fuel
- Max. Temp.: 210° F
Designed for installation through a tank wall, these strainers have a narrow diameter. You can install them at the top of a tank for connection to a standpipe. They're often used in hydraulic systems to filter particles before they enter your system. Strainers have a steel connection for good strength and durability. The tank connection is male and the pipe connection is female.
