Description
Forged Brass, Bronze, Cast Iron, and Stainless
Steel Bodies: Asco Rugged self-cleaning "Y" type body
strainers have an easily removable strainer element of perforated
stainless steel sheet or wire mesh in cylindrical form. The total free
hole area as specified in the table is the total area of all
perforations or openings through the straining elements. They are
suitable for air, water, oil and steam.

Plastic Body: These ASCO strainers have a straight through flow
design with a large area orifice. The strainer can be easily removed
from the line and cleaned by back flushing. They are suitable for air
and water.
Applications:
Strainers should be used wherever it is essential that the fluid flowing
through pipe lines be maintained free of foreign solid matter. This is
necessary to assure proper flown and to prevent damage to controls and
other equipment.

Installation:
The strainers may be mounted in any position. When installed with
solenoid valves, the strainer should be connected in the upstream
(inlet) side of the valve -- as close to the valve as possible. |
