Valves and fittings for marine service

Mud boxes
Cast iron
Econ mud boxes are installed in suction pipes aboard vessels to protect pumps
against large solids. The standard perforation size of the strainer basket is 8 mm
square; the cover is mounted with studs and hexagon nuts. As an option the hexagon
nuts can be replaced by brass bow nuts. The cover is provided with a blind boss,
suitable for mounting an air vent. These mud boxes are also used for applications on
shore, for example in swimming pool installations.
Low resistance
Econ mud boxes offer a very low resistance, which is partially due to the large free
straining surface, which is on average about 6 times as large as the pipeline diameter
area. When the strainer basket is about 85% fouled, the flow through the strainer
basket is still equal to the diameter area of the mud box.
