1.Product Introduction:

Bronze bodied 'Y' type strainer suitable for water, steam, gas and oil. It's a device which provides a means of mechanically removing solids from a flowing fluid or gas in a pipeline by utilizing a perforated or mesh straining element.

To ensure against untimely shutdown of equipment, strainers should be installed ahead of pumps, loading valves, control valves, meters, steam traps, turbines, compressors, solenoid valves, nozzles, pressure regulators, burners, unit heaters and other sensitive equipment.

3.Installation:

Clean all threaded areas of pipe thoroughly before installing strainer. Use pipe dope or teflon tape sparingly. Leave the end thread exposed to avoid introducing the sealant into the piping system. The strainer can be installed in the horizontal or vertical down position.

4.Operation and Maintenance:

After the initial operation of the system, the strainer should be blow down to remove any installation debris caught in the screen. Repeat the blowdown procedure on a regular schedule thereafter. Frequency of blowdown depends on the operating conditions to which the strainer is subjected. If no blowdown valve is to be used, the strainer can be cleaned  by removing the screen retainer and screen. Caution: always isolate the strainer from the pressurized system before opening to clean. Use a new gasket when reassembling the strainer. The strainer screen should be inspected one to two times per year. Recommended spare parts are one screen and three gaskets per strainer.
