Assembly The Tee Line Strainer component assembly contains four (4) sub-components:
1. Element Insert 2. Gasket 3. Clamp 4. Strainer Body
The element insert is inserted into the body with the gasket installed between the two; the two units are then clamped together. The concave side of the element must face the incoming flow.

Cleaning* 1. Turn off and lock out any pumps and/or equipment connected to the strainer process line. 2. Ensure that all pressure has been relieved from the system the strainer is installed on. 3. Close any available blocking / isolation valves.
4. Remove the strainer element insert. 5. Use a hose to spray the insert off with water to remove loose debris. For a tee- strainer, often times this will clean adequately with larger debris. 6. If additional cleaning is required, clean the insert and other

internals using a clean-out-of-place (COP) parts washer or other automated system running at an adequate temperature, chemical concentration, and amount of time to remove all soil residue. If automated cleaning is not available, manually clean soil residue off the element using a scrub device, water source, chemical and gloves. 7. Rinse with appropriate water supply and inspect all parts for cleanliness and damage. 8. Reassemble the strainer as described in the assembly section. The Tee Line strainer can be cleaned in place; however, it will require periodic inspection for physical removal of debris. Another solution is to attach a tri-clamp cap to the strainer body, which can then be cleaned-in-place (CIP) if desired during COP of the strainer element. *These are recommended cleaning instructions only. Follow any plant sanitation standard operating procedure (SSOP) that your facility may have in place.
