Maintenance During normal disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly, inspect the key areas of the strainer that may require maintenance: 1) Soil. Inspect for soil particulates or foreign matter caught in the element. Remove as necessary. 2) Tri-Clamp Gasket. Inspect for cuts, abrasions, tears, holes, deformity, or other visible damage. Replace as necessary or no longer than a recommended annual basis. 3) Element. Check for bent components, abnormal holes, or other wear and tear or damage. Replace as necessary.
Troubleshooting Table 3: Troubleshooting Problems
Solutions
1. Remove element insert and check for debris. 2. Check the sizing information and Cv value of tee-line strainer. The perforations may need to be upsized or a larger connection size strainer may be required if the problem continues. 1. If the debris is smaller than the perforation size, then a new element insert with smaller perforation holes will be required. 2. Ensure the element insert is installed with the t-handle perpendicular to the pipe. 3. Check the element insert for damage and replace if damage is discovered. 1. Tighten clamp. If leakage is still occurring replace gasket. 2. Check the system pressure to ensure the pressure is not exceeding the pressure ratings of the Tee strainer.
