The Eaton Model 53BTX duplex basket strainer can operate continuously, eliminating the need to shut down processes for cleaning of strainers. When the first basket is full, a unique flow diverter cartridge shifts flow to a second basket to permit removal and cleaning with no interruption to operations. Draining this chamber is easy; the cover lifts and swings clear of the chamber opening with no special tools required. The unique flow diverter cartridge prevents fluid bypass into the out-of-service chamber. It features a dynamic sealing system that ensures exceptionally long seat life and positive sealing. Manual internal or external ball support adjustments are not necessary.

Size and material
The compact, low-profile Model 53BTX fits into spaces ordinary strainers may not, yet it still uses full-size strainer baskets with a low-pressure drop performance. Eaton offers basket openings from 3/4" down to 45 microns. Type 316 stainless steel is standard and MONEL® or HASTELLOY® C materials are optional.

Easy basket servicing
One drain plug is on each side of the housing. Additionally, an easy to access vent valve is in the cover. Standard foot mounting pads ensure a rock solid installation no matter where the strainer operates.

Available options include:
• Differential pressure gauges, with or without switches • Magnetic separators installed in the strainer basket for removing fine ferrous particulate matter from the process media
