Titan Model BS25 Simplex Strainers

Inexpensive Cast Iron Basket Strainers

Model BS25 basket strainers are a low-cost cast iron simplex design. Available in 3/8" to 8" sizes, the basket-chamber cover can be removed without tools. The unit includes a drain plug and adjustable mounting feet.

 

How to Choose Between the Eaton 30R and Titan BS25 Cast Iron Simplex Basket Strainers

Comparing strainers solely by connection size can be misleading. Pricing and lead time are common decision factors, yet the flow coefficient (Cv) values are significantly lower on the smaller-size BS25 strainers. For a given size the Eaton Model 30R therefore starts with a lower clean differential pressure. This directly affects basket-cleaning frequency (the Titan BS25 will typically require more frequent cleaning) and, when a centrifugal pump is used, can reduce available flow.

Differential-pressure calculators make these performance differences easy to quantify. Cost and lead time matter, but performance and features often matter most.

 

The Eaton Model 30R uses a machined strainer basket ring, while the Titan BS25 relies on an o-ring to seal the basket to the housing. The o-ring can improve seal reliability and resilience. The Eaton 30R employs a clamp-style closure on all sizes but is not offered below 1½"; the Titan BS25 is available down to 3/8".

In summary, the Titan BS25 will usually cost less and ship from stock. Verify that the clean differential pressure at your intended flow rate does not exceed 2–3 PSI. The BS25 compares favorably with the 4", 6" and 8" Eaton Model 30R designs.
