Filterball - Combined Isolating Valve & Strainer
Part Number: FB
Product Overview
Quarter turn Isolating Ball Valve with removable Strainer inside the ball. In the closed position, both upstream and downstream connections are isolated and the Strainer can be inspected and removed through the side port. This single unit replaces the traditional Y Strainer and two Isolating Valves. The single unit reduces installation time, joints, space and cost. Furthermore the headloss is less than a comparable Y Strainer due to the straight-through design.
