Description
Eaton offers a tapered plug valve style diverter for their 6″ and 8″ sizes; its their Model 50 Duplex Basket Strainer. It operates similar to the ball valve diverter style, however there’s an additional step, lifting the valve off its seat with a screw jack. Once the flow is diverted the plug valve needs to be reseated with the screw jack. The Model 50 is another metal-to-metal sealing design which might be advantageous for some aggressive fluids.
Only Keckley offers cast 316SS duplex basket strainers for 10″ to 20″ size pipelines. Keckley Model SSDPXF cast 316SS duplex strainers use a sliding valve design. A pair of valve discs attached to a screw shaft slide from isolating one chamber to another when a geared operated is rotated. Their design uses (2) baskets per chamber to reduce the size and weight of the baskets removed, perhaps eliminating the requirement for an overhead hoist.
