The Tee Line Strainer is installed as shown in Figure 2 – upstream of a centrifugal pump or other pump/critical equipment that requires protection. Ideally the strainer is installed with the element lying in a horizontal position as shown in Fig. 2 to enable full draining of the line when removing the insert and ensuring captured debris will fall out of the pipe when the insert is removed. Note that the handle is installed perpendicular (Figure 3) to the pipe and the concave side of the insert is facing towards the direction of flow.

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 4.
