The durable Cla-Val Model X43HL H-Style Strainer is the easiest and most cost effec-
tive way to protect piping and equipment from damage caused by pipeline debris. Itslarge flow area and durable materials of construction means it can withstand the harsh
conditions often encountered in refinery and offshore applications. The body port
allows for installation of a manual flush valve to clear small amounts of debris from the
strainer without removing the cover. For more thorough cleaning, the top cover can
easily be removed without taking strainer out of the pipeline.
