Warning
Individuals performing removal and disassembly should be
provided with suitable protection from possibly hazardous
liquids. Knob and clamp type quick opening covers should
not be used for high temperature service. Consult factory
for recommendations.
Installation
Before installing the simplex basket strainer, be sure
its pressure rating is correct for the system. If the end
connections are threaded, be sure the piping is straight and
not at an angle or off set. If the strainer has fl anged ends, be
sure the fl anges of the connecting piping are square with
the pipe so that no undue stresses are put on the strainer
or piping when tightening fl ange bolts. Tighten bolts in
sequence crossing to opposites.
Maintenance
For maximum effi ciency, a diff erential pressure gauge
installed across the inlet and outlet will indicate pressure
loss due to clogging and may be used, as a guide to
determine when cleaning is required. If the strainer is not
set up for backwash cleaning, remove the cover access to
the basket. After cleaning, replace the basket in the same
position as before and tighten cover. Replace the gasket
or O-ring if necessary. Keeping a spare, clean basket will
minimize shut down time.
Spare Parts
To order replacement baskets or gaskets and O-rings, which
are the only items normally required, specify the following.
• Size and model number of strainer or casting number as
it appears on the body of the strainer.
• Specify service. For example: water, steam, gas, air, oil.
The working pressure and temperature of the system
and particle size to be strained out should also be
specifi ed.
Basket Strainers should be installed in the position
shown in the illustrations above.
