QUICK TIPS Did you know strainer clips and elastomers are consumable items and fatigue over time? Clips: The fit of a clip must be checked regularly and replaced when it no longer provides a secure fit or is overly worn. Elastomers: Plan to replace the strainer elastomers annually at a minimum. Not sure when to clean a strainer? Installing a pressure gauge before and after a strainer can help. When the gauge placed after the strainer drops 8 to 10 psi following the initial flow start-up, you’ll know it is time to clean. GOOD TO KNOW • Strainer & Element Material: 316L stainless steel • Sanitary ID Finish: 32 µin Ra • Maximum Temperature Rating: 250 °F • Full Assembly Maximum Pressure Rating (Standard Tri-Clamp): 125 psi • Full Assembly Maximum Pressure Rating (High Pressure Tri-Clamp): 200 psi • Wedgewire elements have some interior surfaces greater than 32 µin Ra due to the construction process. • Hot water jacket is available in 4" strainer bodies only. • When shipped, strainer assemblies with a Teflon Encapsulated O-ring are not lubricated. Strainer assemblies with other O-ring materials will be lubricated with an FDA-compliant silicone grease. • Filter tubes are FDA compliant, and when used with perforated elements 3 / 32 " or larger maintain overall strainer assembly 3-A certification. • Tuf-Flex® Gaskets are PTFE gaskets with an EPDM core - they help reduce "stickiness" of the gasket allowing for an easier and quicker strainer element removal process.
