Strainers
Cole Industrial and Technical Supply Company maintains a large inventory of strainers. A pipeline strainer is a device which is employed in pipelines to protect any piece of mechanical equipment such as control valves, regulators, condensers, heat exchangers, pumps, steam traps, meters, spray nozzles, etc., from damaging dirt, scale and other foreign matter.
Mueller Steam Specialty Strainers
Y-Strainers
Mueller Steam specialty supplies customers world-wide with all of their requirements for the "Y" Strainers. Wether the need is for a simple low pressure cast iron threaded strainer or a large, high pressure special alloy unit with a custom cap design, we have the "Y" strainers that fit the application. We maintain a large stock of both standard and special sizes and materials. This stock includes end connections of threaded, flanged, socket weld, butt weld, solder, silbraze and grooved ends. We also have units with screwed caps, bolted caps, hinge type covers and swing type clamp covers. Pressure is not a problem for Mueller Steam Specialty. "Y" strainers are available for pressures from ANSI Class 125 through Class 2500 and higher. All of these strainers are available in a wide variety of materials. Basket Strainers
Mueller Steam Specialty Simplex Basket Strainers are called for when the application requires a strainer with an extremely large capacity.
Most of these strainers have an open area ratio of 6 to 1 with even greater open area ratios available.
As with all of the Mueller Steam Specialty strainers, basket strainers are available in an almost endless combination of materials, pressures, end connections and cover configurations from 1/4" to 24" (72" in fabricated units). Units are available in cast iron, bronze, carbon steel, stainless steel, Alloy 20 and most other alloys.
The baskets in the Mueller Steam Specialty simplex basket strainers share the same quality of construction as the Mueller Steam "Y" strainers.
From threaded end connections to offset flanged connections, we can provide the exact basket strainer to meet your needs. Duplex Strainers-Small Strainers (up to 6")
Many times, critical systems cannot be shut down for strainer basket cleaning. These systems include cooling water, compressors, condensers, fire lines, fuel lines, chemical process systems, pump suction applications and other similar services. For these applications, the Mueller Steam Specialty Duplex Strainer is the perfect choice.
For sizes 3/4" through 6", the Revolutionary Ball-PlexT duplex strainer from Mueller Steam Specialty has all of the features you need. Bubble tight seating, true
in-line maintainability, extremely easy seat replacement and long, trouble-free service life in a very simple and rugged design.
Available from stock in cast iron, bronze, carbon steel and stainless steel. Other alloys are also available.
All of the Ball-PlexT units are standard with 316 SS balls and PTFE seats. Other alloys are also available for the balls.
Threaded and flanged units are available with full rated pressures from Class 125 to Class 300 (Class 600 flanges also available). With the floating ball design and relatively low torque requirements, it is very easy to automate these units for remote operation. Duplex Strainers-Large Strainers (8" - 54")
Many times, critical systems cannot be shut down for strainer basket cleaning. These systems include cooling water, compressors, condensers, fire lines, fuel lines, chemical process systems, pump suction applications and other similar services. For these applications, the Mueller Steam Specialty Duplex Strainer is the perfect choice.
For sizes from 8" - 24", the larger Mueller Steam Specialty duplex strainer is the unit of choice. Using an in-line plug design, quick flow transfer is accomplished with less than a 90° rotation of the handle. Economical actuation of the unit is also available.
Sizes 8" - 24" are available in cast iron, bronze, carbon steel and stainless steel and Class 125 and 150.
Sizes 18" - 24" are fabricated. All units can be supplied with special materials, baskets and coatings. Temporary Strainers
Designed to provide inexpensive protection for costly pumps, meters, valves, and other mechanical equipment from dirt, scale, and other foreign matter, particularly during start-up. Temporary strainers are not manufactured to be used in lieu of permanent strainers. We recommend that temporary strainers be removed from pipeline after initial start-up. Fabricated Basket Strainers
Mueller Steam Specialty fabricated basket strainers are designed to remove particles from pipe lines for economical protection of pumps, valves and similar equipment. Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel and other Alloys Fabricated "Tee" Strainers
Mueller Steam Specialty "Tee" type strainers are designed to remove particles from pipe lines where a compact accessible strainer is needed for the protection of pumps, valves and similar equipment. Turbine Meter Strainers
When expensive displacement water meters and other sensitive fluid monitoring devices need to be protected from damage due to particles and debris in the line and space is a problem, the Mueller Steam Specialty meter strainers are the solution.
These units have been designed to meet AWWA requirements of a straining area at least twice the size of the main meter case inlet of turbine type meters.
Available in cast iron and bronze from 1-1/2" to 8", these units are designed to eliminate your meter protection problems. UL Rated Strainers
U.L. approved strainers for fireline service are designed specifically for applications such as automatic water sprinklers and spray systems in firelines. The very large open area ratio helps prevent problems due to clogging of the screen. These units are available with open areas up to seven times the corrsponding pipe size. This exceeds the AWWA requirements by almost 200%.
Whether the need is for a "Y" strainer or a basket strainer, Mueller cast iron fireline strainers from 2-1/2" to 12" can meet your needs. Grooved End Strainers
The LOCXEND model 758G "Y" strainer is recommended for use in water, oil and gas piping to provide economical protection for pumps, meters, valves, compressors, traps and similar equipment.
Standard screens for model 758G are perforated 304 stainless steel with spot welded seam. Perforated monel and other alloys are available as an option. Mesh lining is available in all alloys for extra fine straining.
