What is CPVC Basket Stainer ?

PetronThermoplast’s fabricated Basket Strainers are engineered using heavy-duty PVC or CPVC materials. Available in IPS sizes ranging from 1/2″ to 12″, you have the choice of socket, spigot, or flanged ends, along with EPDM or FKM O-ring seals. Our user-friendly quick-release clamp cap comes equipped with a safety pressure gauge and a pressure release ball valve, enhancing system safety during operation and strainer maintenance. An additional drain plug is included for complete unit drainage and flushing. Designed to remove unwanted solids from plastic or metal piping systems, PetronThermoplast’s Basket Strainers are the ideal solution for safeguarding valves, filters, pumps, nozzles, or other liquid control devices in corrosive or non-corrosive fluid systems.
