Eaton Strainer - Model 50
Eaton Model 50 Duplex Basket Strainer, 5", 6", 8",
Iron, Bronze, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel – Flanged
The Eaton Model 50 Plug Type Duplex Strainer is a simple, economical and trouble-free design. This type of strainer is a high-quality, pressure rated plug valve with integral straining baskets. Switching the flow from one basket to the other is accomplished by moving the operating handle through a 90 degree arc. The design is such that it is impossible for this operation to stop the flow because of the unique port design in the diverter plug. The entire switching operation takes less than 30 seconds and no tools are needed. The plug is automatically positioned each time in exactly the right spot by integral stops.
Prior to this operation, the diverter plug is lifted off its seat by way of the manual, integral lifting jack which is built into the strainer. After switching, the lifting jack is used to reseat the plug. The design of the jack allows for easy lifting and seating, even under high pressure. The diverter plug is limited in the distance it can be raised due to the built in stop. This mitigates material bypassing the plug while being rotated and also debris build up under the plug. The Model 50, with its rugged design and ease of operation, is the best choice for most applications.
