Banjo Polypropylene Mini T-Strainer LSTM075-50C 3/4″ NPT Female

Description

Product Overview

The Banjo LSTM075-50C is a high‑performance polypropylene mini T‑strainer designed for demanding industrial and scientific applications. Constructed from durable polypropylene, the strainer offers excellent impact resistance, surface hardness, and resistance to abrasion and corrosion, making it suitable for harsh environments. Its clear bowl provides visual access to the filtration media, allowing operators to quickly assess the condition of the screen without disassembly. The 50‑mesh screen captures fine particles, protecting downstream equipment such as pumps, regulators, and control valves from debris that could cause wear or failure. The strainer measures 4.3 × 5 × 1.7 inches and weighs only 4.8 ounces, offering a compact footprint that fits easily into tight spaces. The 3/4″ NPT female connection ensures a secure, leak‑free fit with standard piping, while the model number LSTM075-50C uniquely identifies this configuration for inventory and ordering purposes.

Usage

This mini T‑strainer excels in a variety of water management scenarios, including municipal water treatment, cooling‑tower recirculation, and wastewater handling. It is also well‑suited for food processing lines where hygiene and visibility are critical, as the clear bowl allows for easy monitoring of trapped contaminants. In industrial processing, the strainer safeguards sensitive equipment from particulate intrusion, extending the life of pumps and valves while reducing maintenance downtime. The lightweight design and compact size make it ideal for retrofitting existing systems where space constraints are a concern. Installation is straightforward: simply thread the 3/4″ NPT female fitting into the corresponding male connection, secure with appropriate sealing tape, and verify flow. The strainer can be used in both continuous and batch processes, handling a range of flow rates typical for small‑to‑medium scale operations.

FAQ

What fluids can the Banjo LSTM075-50C handle?

The strainer is suitable for water, aqueous solutions, and most non‑aggressive chemicals commonly used in food processing and industrial applications. Its polypropylene material resists corrosion from mild acids and bases, but it is not recommended for highly corrosive solvents.

How often should the screen be cleaned or replaced?

Cleaning frequency depends on the level of particulate load in your system. For typical water‑treatment applications, inspect the screen weekly and clean when debris buildup is visible. In high‑solids environments, more frequent checks may be necessary. The screen can be removed, rinsed, and re‑installed without tools.

Is the strainer compatible with high‑pressure systems?

The LSTM075-50C is rated for standard low‑to‑moderate pressure applications up to 150 psi. For higher‑pressure requirements, a larger‑size strainer or a model specifically rated for high pressure should be selected.

Can I install the strainer in a horizontal orientation?

Yes, the strainer can be installed horizontally or vertically. When installed horizontally, ensure that the clear bowl remains oriented for easy visual inspection, and verify that the flow direction aligns with the screen to maintain optimal filtration performance.

What warranty does Banjo provide for this product?
