Simplex Strainers – Industrial Basket Strainers

Simplex strainers, also known as basket strainers, are essential for protecting downstream equipment and processes from particulate contamination. With a single basket chamber, simplex strainers require interruption of the process flow for basket cleaning when differential pressure exceeds 5 PSI. They are the ideal solution for pipeline filtration projects.

At Factory Direct Pipeline Products, we are an authorized distributor for Eaton, Titan, OC Keckley, and Hayward simplex strainers. Our expert team will guide you through selection to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.

Benefits of Simplex Strainers

• Effective particulate removal to protect equipment and processes
• Available for pipeline sizes up to 36" (larger sizes often use automatic or duplex strainers)
• Wide range of materials: cast, molded, and custom fabricated

Material Options for Simplex Strainers

We offer simplex strainers in the following materials (click for details):

• 316SS Stainless Steel
• Bronze
• Fluoropolymer Lined
• Cast Iron
• Steam Jacketed
• Cast Steel
• Custom Fabricated
• Copolyester (clear)
• CPVC
• GFPP
• PGFPP
• PTFE
• PVC

Cast and molded simplex strainers are the most common because they are readily available and cost less. For higher pressures, corrosion allowance, ASME code stamp, specific coatings, or flanged vent/drain ports, custom fabricated simplex strainers are required (lead times 8–20 weeks depending on size and customization). Common fabricated materials include carbon steel ASTM SA 516 GR.70 and 316L SS. Exotic alloys (Duplex SS, Alloy 20, Titanium, etc.) are also available with longer lead times.

Custom Fabricated Simplex Strainers

For demanding applications requiring higher pressures, corrosion allowance, ASME code stamp, specific coatings, and flanged vent/drain ports, our custom fabricated simplex strainers are the perfect solution. Lead times typically range from 8–10 weeks for common sizes (2"–10").
