Model BS85 simplex basket strainers are available in 2" to 12" sizes with a bolted or swing-bolt quick-opening cover and include a drain plug.

 

How to Choose Between Eaton, Keckley and Titan Simplex Basket Strainers

Pricing and lead time are common decision factors, but the flow coefficient (Cv) should also be evaluated from a performance standpoint.

 

Baskets with a higher Cv begin with a lower clean differential pressure for a given flow rate and may therefore require less frequent cleaning. They can also support higher flow rates at a given pressure.

 

Comparison of Cv Values for Eaton, Keckley and Titan Cast Basket Strainers

Cv values for the 1" to 6" sizes are close enough that the designs perform essentially the same; ergonomics, cost and lead time become the deciding factors. In the 10"–16" range Keckley offers a lower initial pressure drop. All three brands can be supplied with a tool-less quick-opening closure (clamp, swing bolt or knob).
