Model 60F-250 – Fire Line Basket Strainer
The BERMAD FP-60F-250 Basket Strainers are intended to be installed in fire protection pipelines primarily to prevent the clogging of fire sprinkler nozzles and other debris sensitive components in water or foam fire systems. The BERMAD FP-60F-250 is designed for in-line maintenance available with a large diameter flushing outlet for easy screen cleaning and simple screen basket extraction, requiring only cover removal. The ratio of the FP-60F-250 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. 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.
