Choosing a Basket Strainer or Bag Filter
Choose between straining (removing particles down to 74 micron size) or filtering a fluid (removing particles down to 1 micron size). This will direct you to choose the correct basket when ordering.

Operation
Unfiltered liquid enters the housing above the bag or basket and passes down through them. Solids are contained inside the bag or basket, where they’re easily and completely removed when the unit is serviced.

Fluid bypass around the basket is prevented because the outside diameter of the filter bag seals radially against the housing inside diameter. A single cover gasket is used to seal the opening, and covers can be installed and removed without tools.
