Douplex basket strainer
10" - 18" Eaton Filtration

Duplex strainers remove damage causing particulate matter from the system flow, and never have to be shut down for cleaning…the line can run continuously. When one strainer basket becomes full, flow is switched to the other. The first basket is removed, cleaned and is ready for use again.

Iron or Bronze - Flanged, 10" to 18"

Overview

The Eaton Butterfly Valve Type Model 50 Duplex Basket Strainer is a special design with several important features and advantages for large size pipeline with high flow rates. Flow is switched from one basket chamber to the other by a pair of synchronized, high quality butterfly valves. This replaces the diverter plug used on smaller size strainers and gives a straight flow pattern with no sudden changes in flow direction. The result is a very low pressure loss. A 10" strainer of this type, for example, can handle a water flow rate of 2000 gpm with a pressure drop of only 2 psi. This is the strainer to choose when you have a high flow rate application and a low pressure loss is critical.
