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.

Sanitary Magnetic Strainers
- For Use With: Beverage, Dairy, Food, Salt Solutions, Sodium Nitrate, Water
- Max. Pressure: 150 psi @ 225° F
- Temp. Range: -20° to 225° F
Draw metal shavings and other contaminants out of your sanitary liquid line with these strainers. As liquid swirls through the strainer cavity, magnets sealed inside capture any metal bits. Remaining impurities are separated out with gravity and trapped in a collection sump. Empty the strainers by removing the lid and scooping up the collected particles at the bottom of the enclosure. These strainers have quick-clamp connections, so they’re good for frequent deep cleans and line changes. Also known as tri-clamp fittings, they connect with a gasket, a clamp, and another quick-clamp fitting for quick removal and assembly.
These strainers are 316 stainless steel, which won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. The continuous weld seams and polished surfaces are free of pits and crevices where bacteria could grow, making them easy to sanitize. Rated for high temperatures, you can keep these strainers on your line during a heated clean-in-place (CIP) process. All strainers and their included gasket are FDA compliant, meaning they are safe for food contact.
Filters that are USDA certified meet the highest standards of sanitary design.

Plastic Filter Housings with Cartridge for Drinking Water
Prepare water for use in beverages, food preparation, and ice production. These filter housings come with a cartridge that prevents scale formation, which can damage equipment. They also come with adapters and a length of tubing for under-sink installation between a water line and faucet. Both the filter and the cartridge meet NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for use with drinking (potable) water.
Filter housings with a flow-control valve let you stop the flow to replace the cartridge.

Faucet-Mount Plastic Filter Housings with Cartridge for Drinking Water
Tap into great-tasting water by screwing this filter directly onto your faucet. It comes with a cartridge that filters out sediment, chlorine, and other particles that cause unpleasant tastes and odors. The cartridge lasts approximately two months or 200 gallons of water. Filter housing is opaque white so it blocks light to minimize algae growth. It is not recommended for hot water.

Filter Bags for Food and Beverage
These bags are suitable for contact with food and beverage. Use them with a filter bag housing to remove contaminants from your line.
Seamless filter bags provide more uniform filtration than filter bags with a seam. They trap very fine particles that can pass through the pinholes in a seam.

Compact Float Valves with Plastic Reservoir for Food and Beverage
Commonly used in ice-making machines, these valves have floats that rest inside a clear plastic reservoir. They meet NSF/ANSI 169 standards for food equipment components. Polypropylene plastic floats are FDA compliant for direct food contact. The discharge outlet is unthreaded and releases contents into your tank. The drain holes are located on the bottom for connecting to soft tubing (not included).
