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 of Mueller Steam Specialty Engineering binder for
detailed information including sizes and materials available.

Typical Service
These rugged strainers can be specified for many applications in chemical processes, including brine, paint, fuel oil, organic and inorganic chemicals, as well as condensers and heat
exchangers, to name just a few.
They are especially suited for medium or coarse straining. For finer straining, see Model
125F-SS or 126F-SS.

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.
