Strainers provide economical protection for costly pumps, meters, valves, and other
similar mechanical equipment by straining foreign matter from the connected piping system.
Installation of a strainer before mechanical equipment can ensure trouble free service and
avoid costly shutdowns for repair or replacement of equipment damaged by
foreign matter. The size of the perforation or mesh in the basket screen will determine the
smallest particles captured. See Strainer Information section in the Mueller Steam Specialty
Engineering binder for detailed information including sizes and materials available.
Service Recommendations
• These strainers can be specified for cooling water, seawater, hot water systems and more.
• They are especially suited for medium or coarse straining. For finer straining, see Model 125.
Features
•The angular cutaway design of the baskets allows a straight through flow, resulting in
extremely low pressure drop.
•Tapped and plugged NPT drain on the strainer bottom enables easy self-cleaning on open
bottom baskets. Simply open the valve or plug on the outlet to flush accumulated particles.
•Bodies can be tapped for pressure gauges, or per customer requirement. Consult factory.
Construction
•Cover is a flanged bolted design for easy basket removal.
