Duplex Strainers

DUPLEX STRAINERS are used when the flow rate cannot be interrupted for basket cleaning. Once the differential pressure reaches 8-10 PSI and the strainer basket needs to be cleaned, the lever handle is turned to take the dirty basket out of service and to divert the flow through the chamber with the clean basket. The position of the handle indicates which chamber is in service. No special tools are needed to access the strainer basket for cleaning. Our duplex strainers are available in cast bronze, iron, steel and 316SS and molded from PVC, CPVC and Eastar materials. We can custom fabricate duplex strainers from carbon steel, 316SS or whatever alloy is required.
