About Strainers and Selecting Screen Size

How to Identify and Measure Fittings

Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

Max. Pressure for Water: 150 psi @ 70° F
Temp. Range: -40° to 125° F

Clean out your strainer less often—these T-strainers have high debris-holding capacity. Install them prior to valves, pumps, and nozzles to protect sensitive equipment. Strainers have a nylon or polypropylene housing for excellent corrosion resistance.

Clear strainers allow you to monitor debris collecting in the screen without disconnecting your pipeline.

Strainers with push-to-connect tube connections make a tight seal around flexible tubing.

Use the optional fluoroelastomer gasket (sold separately) for oil applications.

Chemical-Resistant T-Strainers

With Polyethylene Plastic Screen

With Polypropylene Plastic Screen

Max. Pressure for Solvents and Salt Solutions: 150 psi @ 70° F
Temp. Range: -40° to 125° F

Made of chemical-resistant plastic, these strainers can withstand exposure to salt solutions and solvents that can corrode metals. Use them prior to valves, pumps, and nozzles in your pipeline.

Clear strainers allow you to monitor debris collecting in the screen without disconnecting your pipeline.

Strainers with a polyethylene screen trap particles down to 70 microns, finer than strainers with a polypropylene screen; they’re good for use in vacuum applications.

High-Capacity T-Strainers

3/4 and 1 Pipe Sizes

1 1/4 and 1 1/2 Pipe Sizes

Max. Pressure for Water, Ethylene Glycol, Acetone, and Sodium Nitrate: 300 psi @ 70° F
Temp. Range: -20° to 150° F

Well suited for high-flow applications, these strainers have an extra-long housing and screen for greater debris-holding capacity than our other T-strainers. Use them to prevent debris from entering sensitive equipment such as valves, pumps, and nozzles. Strainers have a polypropylene housing for excellent corrosion resistance. They have a threaded drain with a plug that provides access to the screen without disconnecting your line.

Strainers with 3/4 and 1 pipe size have mounting brackets to provide extra stability.

Compact T-Strainers

Max. Pressure for Water: 250 psi @ 70° F
Temp. Range: 32° to 180° F

With a smaller overall size than T-strainers of the same pipe size, these are well suited to applications in close quarters. Use them to capture debris in your pipeline before it can damage valves, pumps, nozzles, and other sensitive equipment. Unthread the retainer cap to remove debris. Strainers are bronze for good corrosion resistance.

Stainless Steel Quick-Clamp T-Strainers

Max. Pressure for Beverage, Dairy, Food, Pharmaceuticals, and Water: 150 psi @ 72° F
Temp. Range: -50° to 275° F

Add these inline T-strainers to your sanitary process line to trap solid particles during clean-in-place (CIP) cycles. They have quick-clamp sanitary tube connections, also known as tri-clamp connections, for use in dairy, food, and other process lines that require frequent cleaning and disassembly. As the high-pressure cleaning fluid flows through your line, the strainer's screen catches particles larger than 1/8" to prevent damage to pumps, valves, and other downstream components. And because the total open area of the screen is larger than the area of the tube itself, the screen will not restrict flow.

Strainers come with a gasket and clamp to secure the screen inside the strainer. Gaskets and clamps for connecting the strainer to your line are sold separately. A handle lets you remove the screen to clean it between runs.
