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. Disassemble the strainer by removing the end cap clamp and pulling the Magnetic Trap Strainer Element out. 5. Remove mesh overlay / filter tube if present. Mesh overlay can be cleaned; discard filter tube after each use. 6. Use a hose to spray the insert off with water to remove loose debris. Water will not loosen and remove metal fines from the magnets.

7. The magnets within the Magnetic Trap are susceptible to shattering if handled without caution. DO NOT bang the Magnetic Trap Strainer Element Frame to loosen metal debris. The metal will not loosen and the magnets are likely to lose efficacy from rough handling. Instead, use a rag or dry wipe tissues to wipe down and pinch off the fine metal particulates from the four Magnetic Trap tubes. 8. Once the metal debris is removed from the magnets, the Magnetic Trap Strainer Element Frame may be placed in the 4” strainer body and clamped to be cleaned in place. If cleaning out of place, we recommend washing the Magnetic Trap Strainer Element Frame by hand using gloves, adequate temperature, chemical concentration, action, and time to remove all soil residue. Manual cleaning ensures care is taken to protect the magnets from breaking. 9. 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. 10. Rinse with appropriate water supply and inspect all parts for cleanliness and damage. 11. Reassemble the strainer as described in the assembly section. *These are recommended cleaning instructions only. Follow any plant sanitation standard operating procedure (SSOP) that your facility may have in place. A tri-clamp cap can be attached to the strainer body, which can then be cleaned-in-place (CIP) if desired during COP of the strainer element.
