Model GX FRP Simplex Strainers

Seawater and HVAC Basket Strainers

The GX simplex basket strainer is available for pipelines as large as 24" and features a PVC core with an FRP cover for increased strength and corrosion resistance. This construction combines the corrosion resistance of PVC with the mechanical strength of FRP. Strainer baskets are made of stainless steel, special alloy or thermoplastic and are designed to hold up to 50 lbs of debris. Access to the basket chamber is provided by stainless steel T-bolts and does not require tools.

GX simplex basket strainers have an open-area ratio of at least 4:1. Gasket grooves on the strainer body keep the EPDM or silicone lid gasket correctly positioned. The angled basket design self-centers and is easily removed by its handle. Integral vent and drain plugs permit safe draining before basket access and allow degassing during pipeline filling.

Non-alloy valves for isolation, venting and draining can be supplied at additional cost.

GX basket strainers are rated for pressures up to 75 PSI at 75°F. At elevated temperatures (75–140°F) the maximum pressure rating is reduced. Maximum suction pressure is 14 PSIG vacuum.
