DM-0010_Tee-Line Strainer_IOM_Rev2.1

The Tee Line Strainer shown in Figure 2 is installed upstream of a centrifugal pump or other pump/critical equipment that requires protection.

Figure 2: Assembled Tee Strainer

The image in Figure 2 shows the Tee Strainer with the body facing upward, however, this is not the best way to install it. Ideally, the strainer should be installed so the body is parallel to the ground or slightly angled downward as shown in both Figure 1 and Figure 3. Installing in this manner will greatly improve the ability to remove residual soils when cleaning the strainer. Note that the handle is installed perpendicular to the pipe and the concave side of the insert is facing towards the direction of flow as shown in Figure 3. If the Tee Line Strainer includes the alignment pin option, the pin will help the user align the insert correctly and ensure the insert is installed in the correct position every time. When installing the tee body within the process line, it is important to ensure the pin is on the side of the incoming flow as shown in Figure 3.
