Basket & Housing Will Not Corrode
FRP and stainless steel components assure that all wetted parts will not rust. Overall
dimensions conform to existing metal strainer configurations for simple field replacement
of existing corroded metal units.
Also Available As A Reducing Strainer
The outlet size can be sized smaller than the inlet to allow line size reduction to
pump suction size.
Also, a larger strainer bodies can be fitted with smaller inlet and
outlet sizes if a larger basket is desired for extra capacity and longer times between
cleaning.
Transparent Lid
Clear acrylic lid allows inspection of basket
without opening strainer. On 14" and larger strainers the lid is FRP with an 8" diameter
acrylic view port.
Lower Losses - Increased Time Between Cleaning
The FO Series strainers are built with a large outlet area in the basket chamber. This
results in very low pressure losses initially and much greater debris loading before
the pressure drop across the strainer rises to the point where cleaning is required.
