INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

“Y” Strainers
WARNING
Individuals performing removal and disassembly should be provided with suitable protection from possibly hazardous liquids.

Before installing the “Y” strainer, be sure its pressure rating is correct for the system. If the end connections are threaded or de-
signed for soldering or brazing, be sure the piping is straight and not at an angle or offset. If the strainer has flanged ends be sure
the flanges of the connecting piping are square with the pipe so that no undue stresses are put on the strainer or piping when
tightening flange bolts. Tighten bolts in sequence crossing to opposites.

For maximum efficiency, a differential pressure gauge installed across the inlet and outlet will indicate pressure loss due to clogging
and may be used as a guide to determine when cleaning is required. If the strainer is equipped with a blow-down valve, open and
flush out until any sediment is removed. If the strainer is not fitted for blow-down cleaning, remove the cover (or cap) and clean
the screen. Re-install the screen in the strainer in the same position as before and tighten cover (or cap). Replace the gasket if
necessary.

Keeping a spare, clean screen will minimize shut down time.

SPARE PARTS
To order replacement screens or gaskets, which are the only items normally required, specify the following.
a) Size and model number of strainer or casting number as it appears on the body of the strainer.
b) Specify service. For example: water, steam, gas, air, oil. The working pressure and temperature of the system and
particle size to be strained out should also be specified.

ENGINEERING SUBMITTAL DATA

600 LB. CAST STAINLESS STEEL FLANGED & BUTTWELD "Y" STRAINERS
PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RATINGS
STEAM: 600 psi @ 1125o F
1440 psi @ 100o F
MODELS: S8-600 & S7-600 WOG:

SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS

These strainers are designed to ensure complete protection to

mechanical equipment from the harmful effects of dirt, scale, etc.
The S8-600 is built for a long service life and designed to withstand
many different types of corrosive fluids at high pressures and
temperatures.
FEATURES
All sizes feature a bolted cover machined to receive the screen.
S8-600 are drilled in accordance with ANSI B16.5. Bolt holes are
either spot faced or flanges are back faced. Each unit is individually
hydrostatically tested. Ring Type Joints (RTJ) are available.
Standard gasket is Teflon, limited to 400o F.
SCREENS

Model S8-600 Heavy gauge 304 stainless steel screens are normally furnished in
the following perforations:
SERVICE: 1/2" - 4" 5" to 14"
Steam: .033" .045"
Liquid : .062" 1/8"
Other materials, such as Monel, Hastelloy C, & Alloy-20 are avail-
able. Other perforation sizes and/or mesh lining is also available.
CONSTRUCTION
Extremely rugged & durable bodies constructed from stock in type
316 stainless steel (ASTM A351, Grade CF8M). Other alloys are
available. All sizes contain generously proportioned screens with a
minimum capacity four times the corresponding pipe size. The
bodies of both the S8-600 & S7-600 are designed to meet 600 lb.
Model S7-600 ANSI specifications. Model S8-600 has RF flanges and model
S7-600 ends are machined to match schedule 80 pipe. All models
DIMENSIONS & WEIGHTS APPROXIMATE have machined seats in the body & cover which ensure accurate
(Apply for certified drawings) screen alignment.
