Eaton's Model 72 basket strainer has been the industry standard for more than 75 years. It is perfect for industrial and commercial applications in which the line can be temporarily shut down for strainer basket cleaning or changeout. A reason for its popularity is the unusually large basket capacity. The free standing area with a perforated basket is a minimum of 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. Sizes 4" and larger have a special cover clamp provided to distribute the seating pressure and to ensure positive seating of the cover. Another feature is a threaded drain on every size strainer (fitted with a yoke quick-closer). Sizes 2" and larger are equipped with legs that bolt to the floor for rock solid installation. Wall thicknesses are exceptionally heavy. The basket seats are precision machined to provide a tight seal and prevent any material from bypassing the basket.
