Abstract:
A water strainer is comprised of a body which contains a central chamber with which the inlet and outlet passages communicate. Strainer grids angularly oriented with respect to each other meet to form the apex of a triangle within the central chamber adjacent the inlet passage. Debris and foreign material caught on the grid is washed by the flow of water through the strainer towards regions near the side of the interior of the body where it will not impede the flow of the mainstream of the water through the grid, or cause an unsymmetrical flow velocity profile in the water stream issuing from the strainer.
