Mueller Model 794-FB Bronze Duplex Basket Strainer

SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS
Mueller Steam Specialty Ball-Plex Duplex Strainers are designed for use in fl uid handling
systems where the fl ow cannot be shut down for basket cleaning such as cooling
water, compressors, condensers, fi re lines, fuel lines, lubrication systems, salt and
fresh water systems, chemical process systems and pump suction service.
FEATURES
The Mueller Steam Specialty Ball-Plex Duplex Strainers use 3-way balls as diverter
valves. This design, with its PTFE seats, provides drop-tight shut-off, eliminating the
costly and potentially dangerous leakage into the chamber not in use. The two part
body casting allows true-in-line maintainability. All parts of the valve are accessible
after removing the basket chamber without removing the strainer from the line. On
models with a handle, the chamber in use is covered by the handle preventing accidental
opening of the pressurized chamber and allowing easy access to the side to
be serviced.
BASKETS
The large open area ratio of the basket ensures a minimum pressure drop across the
unit. Perforated stainless steel baskets are standard on all models unless otherwise
specifi ed. See page E-3 for pressure drop fi gures.
