Introduction
A duplex strainer is a device installed in a pipe- line to remove dirt
and other unwanted debris from fluids. Straining is accomplished
by directing the fluid through sized openings in a basket.
Duplex strainers are installed where fluid flow cannot be
interrupted while the basket is re- moved for cleaning. Duplex
strainers are designed for pressure and suction installations.

Receiving, Handling and Inspection
Inspect strainer after unpacking for damage incurred during transit.
Report any damage to the carrier immediately. If the strainer is not
to be installed immediately, store indoors in a clean, dry
environment.
Remove preservative with solvent dampened cloths. Exercise care when using solvent. Check to be sure the rated pressure and
temperature on the strainer name plate is not less than the maxi- mum pressure and temperature of the installation. The rated
pressure shown on the name plate is the maximum pressure, including shock pressure, at which the strainer may be operated.
