The Eaton Model 50 Duplex Basket Strainer protects piping system components like meters, pumps, and instrumentation from damage and helps prevent expensive unscheduled downtime. The Model 50 runs continuously to remove possible damage causing particulate matter from the system flow. The Model 50 Duplex Pipeline Strainer removes unwanted particulate matter from the system flow through the use of two strainer baskets operating independently within a single housing. Switching the flow from one strainer basket to the other, so the dirty basket can be cleaned, is accomplished by moving the operating handle through a 90-degree arc. The design is such that it is impossible to stop the flow because of the unique port design of the diverter plug. The entire operation takes less than 30 seconds, no tools are needed, and the diverter plug is automatically positioned in exactly the right spot each time by integral stops. Eaton's Model 50 Pipeline Strainers also feature quick opening, swing-away design yoke covers. No tools are required to remove the covers for quick and easy access to the strainer baskets for cleaning. Draining of the strainer basket chambers is simplified with standard NPT drain taps, and all strainer sizes have standard mounting legs for bolting the strainer to the floor for a rock solid installation.
