EMD Installation and operating manual Maintenance For EMD to work reliably, a strainer should be cleaned regularly. The Strainer of EMD is located in the entrance to a valve. Its purpose is to intercept larger solid particles that would clog valve. Cleanings period depends on condition of compressed air system. The valve is due to wear.
