  • Page 4: Safety

    1.1 Important Safety Information Safety is very important! DO NOT attempt to modify any Alfa Laval product. To do so could create unsafe conditions and void all warranties. DO NOT place any Tri-Clover product in an application where general product service ratings are exceeded.

  • Page 5: Introduction

    The Streamline filters and strainers are suitable for horizontal or vertical mounting, directly into the pipe work. Both Streamline and Mainstream filters and strainers can use a twin setup. A twin filter or strainer setup consists of two complete units mounted onto a single stand. Directional valves at the inlet and outlet ports allow one unit to operate while the filter media in the other unit is being changed or cleaned.

  • Page 6: Installation

    The Streamline filter/strainer comes completely assembled, and ready to install. The Mainstream filter/strainer must be assembled. When you unpack the Mainstream filter or strainer, remove the special packing inside the unit. For both the Mainstream and Streamline units, check for damage that could have occurred during shipping. Report any damage to the carrier.

    Important: When installing new non-woven (felt) filter media, recirculate the process fluid through the filter. This will capture loose fibers before they go down stream. Mainstream Ensure that the correct port is used for the inlet. (See figure.) Starting the Filter System Open the vent valve slightly.
