Mueller Model 125F-SS Stainless Steel Basket Strainer

SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS
These strainers are used to strain foreign matter from pipe lines and provide inexpensive
protection for costly pumps, meters, valves, and similar mechanical equipment. They
are available in a variety of materials other than those listed below. In the appropriate
material, the Model 125 can be specifi ed for drinking water, cooling water, hot water
systems, sea water, etc. Just a few of the applications in the chemical process industry
are: brine, paint, heat exchangers, condensers, fuel oil, organic and inorganic chemicals.
FEATURES
These strainers have been designed for applications where easy maintenance and
large capacity straining are needed. Service time is minimal because the cover is
secured with quick opening, non-yoke type knobs. Both the cover and basket use
O-ring seals, eliminating the need to replace gaskets each time the strainer is serviced.
This, combined with the machined basket seat, eliminates particle bypass. With the
appropriate wire mesh, these strainers can be used to strain particles as small as 5
microns.
