B Series Screwed, Socketweld and Flanged Y-Type Strainers feature screen chambers that won’t leak or crush. Both ends of the chambers are precisely machined. This means perfectly round and smooth seating surfaces, as well as a fixed chamber length. Since the screen seats snugly on the machined surface, no particle bigger than the screen opening can escape around the end of the screen.
SCREWED RETAINERS: EASY IN, EASY OUT
Straight threads mean it takes less torque to achieve a tight seal with proper gasket compression. Less torque is also required to remove the retainer. For you, that means less danger of “freezing in” than with hard-to-break tapered pipe threads.
