Duplex Basket Strainers are designed for applications where continuous flow must be maintained whilst cleaning filter baskets. The strainer uses integral 3 way stainless steel ball valves with PTFE seals. This design provides drop tight shutoff eliminating costly and potentially dangerous leakage into the chamber not in use which can occur in some other duplex strainer designs. This also eliminates some problems which can occur in particular suction conditions where in other designs air ingress could occur. All parts of the valve mechanism are accessible after removing the basket chamber without taking the strainer out of the pipeline.

The handle covers the basket strainer chamber when in use and prevents accidental opening of the filter cover.
