maintenance available with a large diameter flushing
outlet for easy screen cleaning and simple screen
basket extraction, requiring only cover removal.

area to the inlet pipe area is more than 10:1, ensuring
continued system performance, a low pressure drop
and longer intervals between cleaning.
NFPA 11, 13, 15 and 16 standards state that listed strainers
shall be provided in the main pipeline of all systems
using nozzles where the water is likely to contain
obstructive material.

Summary of Contents for BERMAD FP-60F-D

  • Page 1 The ratio of the FP-60F-D/DV strainer’s basket screen area to the inlet pipe area is more than 10:1, ensuring continued system performance, a low pressure drop and longer intervals between cleaning.
  • Page 2 The flushing drain connection should be typically fitted with an appropriately sized normally closed valve and drain piping. Where a flushing valve is to be employed, the FP-60F-D/DV Basket Strainer sizes 3" to 12" are recommended to be installed in a horizontal position with the strainer cover and flushing valve to the side. To facilitate flushing for 14" and 16" sizes installation is recommended to be vertical.
  • Page 3: Typical Installations

    It is recommended to install a differential pressure gauge rooted to upstream and downstream of the FP-60F-D/DV strainer, in order to show the degree of strainer blockage. The maximum allowable differential pressure across the strainer is 7 psi or 0.5 bar at maximum system flow.
