The Eaton Model 53BTX duplex strainer easily installs in
pipelines to remove sediment and debris from fluids. Fluid
flows uninterrupted while the basket is removed for cleaning.
These strainers are designed for pressure or suction
applications.
Straining on the Model 53BTX is accomplished by directing the
fluid through sized openings in the basket. Once sediment and
debris is collected in the basket, the fluid flow is directed by
manually turning the handle over to the other basket for
continuous operation. At this time the debris filled basket can
be removed for cleaning.
