Safety Information, Installation, and Maintenance

For detailed information, refer to the installation and maintenance guide supplied with the product (IMS60-17).

• Warning: The strainer cap gasket contains a thin stainless steel support ring. Handle it with care.

• Installation: Install the strainer horizontally in the direction of flow indicated on the body. For steam or gas service in horizontal pipework, keep the strainer body in the horizontal plane. In liquid systems, position the body vertically downward. Install suitable isolation valves upstream and downstream of the strainer to facilitate maintenance and replacement. Remove all protective materials before installation, slowly open the isolation valves until normal operating conditions are reached, and check for leaks.

• Maintenance: The strainer can be serviced in-line when safe operating procedures are followed. Use new gaskets and replacement parts during maintenance.

• Disposal: This product is recyclable and, when disposed of correctly, does not present an environmental hazard.
