Receiving, Handling and Inspection
Unpack the strainer and inspect for damage oc-
curring during transit. Report damage to the car-
rier. If the strainer is not installed immediately,
see “Storage” instructions.
Remove any preservatives with solvent damp-
ened cloths. Exercise care when using solvent
and follow solvent manufacturer’s instructions.
Verify that the rating of the strainer is greater
than or equal to the maximum pressure & tem-
perature of the installation.
Inspect strainer by checking for and removing
any foreign or loose material that could be car-
ried down stream when fluid is introduced into
the strainer.
Storage
Replace protective wrap, flange protectors etc.
which may have been removed during receiving,
handling and inspection. Store the strainer in a
clean, dry environment.
Installation
CAUTION: Before installation, review the ap-
plication and chemical compatibility of the
process fluid to the materials of construction
of the strainer.
Remove protective wraps etc. before installing
the strainer. Position the strainer in the pipeline
so that the fluid enters the connection marked
“IN”, “INLET” or in the direction of the Arrow cast
into the strainer.
Installation, Continued
Always install the strainer with the blow-off (drain)
in the lowest position. Flow must be downward
into the inlet of the strainer for satisfactory opera-
tion for vertical piping installations.
CAUTION: To lift the strainer, put slings un-
der the inlet and outlet connections.
Be sure sufficient clearance is provided for easy
opening of the cover (blow-off) and screen re-
moval. Refer to the Sales Drawing for removal
clearances.
For larger sized strainers, support the strainer
firmly in the pipeline. Piping must allow for ad-
justments due to strainer connection tolerances.
Strainer supports must prevent piping forces and
movements from acting on the strainer.
Connect the strainer to the pipeline. On flanged
strainers, be sue to use the same type of flange
faces. Do not bolt a raised face flange to a flat
face flange. Be sure flange gaskets are in place
and fasteners are tight.
On strainers with other line connections use stan-
dard piping practice when installing the strainer.
CAUTION: Eaton Y-Strainers are not designed
to be anchor supports in the piping line. Be
sure to properly support process piping on
both sides of the strainer. Use care to pre-
vent piping forces and movements from act-
ing on the strainer connections. Damage may
occur to the strainer if improperly connected.
