A strainer valve is a type of valve that contains a screen or strainer that traps debris and prevents it from entering downstream piping or equipment. Some key points about strainer valves:

They are installed in pipelines to protect critical components like pumps, compressors, sensors, and control valves from damage due to dirt, rust, scale and other contaminants.

The strainer is a mesh screen or a perforated basket that captures solids while allowing liquids or gases to pass through. The mesh/perforation size determines what size particles can be trapped.

Strainer Valves From Fluid Tech Group Are Commonly Used In Fire Protection Systems

Fire sprinkler systems – Strainers are installed in the supply lines to protect the sprinkler heads and piping from debris that could clog them. This ensures proper water flow for fire suppression.

• Fire pumps – Fire pumps have suction strainers on the intake to prevent gravel, scale and other solids from entering the pump and causing wear or jamming.
• Standpipe systems – Standpipe systems have strainers to filter out sediment that could accumulate in the piping and clog the fire hoses connected to them.
• Water spray systems – Water spray nozzles for cooling or fire suppression may have strainers to prevent clogging from pipe corrosion particles or other debris.
• Foam systems – Foam concentrate lines often include strainers to trap sediments and prevent clogging of the foam proportioning equipment.
• Water monitor nozzles – Strainers protect large water monitor nozzles used for firefighting from obstruction.

Why Strainers Are Critical For Fire Applications?

• Reliable water delivery is paramount for firefighting. Strainers prevent clogging.
• Fire protection systems contain expensive, sensitive equipment. Meanwhile, strainer valves protect them from damage.
• Sudden obstructions could be very hazardous in an emergency. Strainers minimize this risk.
