THOMPSON STRAINER SCREEN FILTER - OPERATION MANUAL
The Thompson Strainer Screen Filter is a highly efficient, stainless steel strainer which features a large conical screen offering
substantially more screen surface area versus traditional basket or "Y" strainers. As water enters the bottom of the strainer housing
and flows upward, heavier debris and particulate is accelerated downward, away from the conical screen, into the large debris
reservoir at the base of the strainer. Particulate can be flushed from the reservoir via the flush port either manually or automatically
with optional flush package. All models operate with less than 1-psi pressure loss at maximum flow when clean.
Serial #
The Serial # is located on the top of the outlet flange or pipe.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

GENERAL WARNING
Ensure all appropriate personnel read owner's manual prior to installation and/or operation of strainer. Failure to
Comply with instructions and safety precautions could lead to personal injury or product damage.
CAUTION
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - eye protection, ear protection, gloves, and protective footwear - must be worn
when operating and servicing the strainer.
1.
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RATED PRESSURE OR TEMPERATURE OF THE STRAINER. Refer to decals
located on the strainer.
2.
Under no conditions should the strainer lid or pressure gauges be removed while the strainer is pressurized.
3.
All strainers with a side inlet and a bottom foot ring must be placed on a firm supporting surface.
DO NOT suspend the strainer by the inlet and outlet connections. All strainers with vertical inlet piping must be plumbed
into properly supported piping.
4.
Units with damaged or missing parts should NEVER be operated.
5.
Back-flow prevention devices should be installed upstream of the inlet and downstream of the outlet of the strainer to prevent
back flow or vacuum effects that can be damaging to the strainer.
6.
Pressure relief valves of a sufficient size and volume should be installed upstream of the inlet and downstream of the outlet
of the strainer. They should be set so the system never exceeds the maximum rated pressure. Failure to install relief valves
could lead to personal injury or product damage.

  • Page 2: Receiving & Installation

    RECEIVING & INSTALLATION Inspect strainer to ensure there is no damage from transit. Confirm all dust plugs/flange protectors (inlet, outlet, gauge ports, etc.) are removed. Locate serial number on top of outlet flange or pipe (see diagrams below) and record in the box on page 1. Position the strainer into the piping system using the red arrows to indicate flow path.
  • Page 3: Torque Recommendations

    STRAINER OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, & STORAGE Cleaning A pressure differential of approximately 5-7 PSI from the clean condition indicates that the screen requires cleaning. Remove strainer from service by shutting off system valves to ensure no flow or pressure. Check gauges to ensure the internal pressure of the strainer is relieved before removing the retaining bolts/clamp of lid. Open flush port valve to drain fluid from strainer and relieve strainer pressure.
