The basic strainer used in the Model 72SJ is Eaton’s popular Model 72 simplex basket strainer that has proven itself an industry standard. All of the features of the Model 72 have been retained, including large basket capacity with a free straining area and a perforated basket approximately six times the cross sectional pipe area.
No tools are needed to open the cover. The quick opening, swinging yoke can be disassembled and the basket removed in seconds.
The standard cover seal is Viton and can be used in most applications up to a temperature of 400 °F (204 °C). Equipped with either a carbon steel or stainless steel jacket welded to the cast body, the steam jacket will handle steam pressures up to 100 psi (6.9 bar).
