FLUSHING STRAINERS

FLUSHING STRAINERS This is a type of modified simplex strainer, having the drain port connected to the bottom of the strainer basket, enabling "flushing" of retained particles when the drain valve is opened. The effectiveness of the cleaning is dependent upon the differential pressure of the system compared to the (presumably) atmospheric pressure of the drain port. Other factors include the particle characteristics, if they tend to be hard and non-deformable, this strainer design provide a low-cost/tech approach for reducing labor related expenses.
