Safety Considerations
Read this manual carefully Personal injury or product damage
can occur if the following safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored We strongly recommend that you follow these safety
precautions and avoid the potential hazards listed below when
operating and maintaining your strainer:
1 After unpacking your strainer, carefully inspect your strainer
housing, lid assembly and screen for damaged or missing
parts Contact our customer service representatives for
replacement parts
2 The strainer should not be modied or used in a manner not
consistent with the manufacture’s recommendations If there
are any questions regarding its application or installation,
contact ClimaCool customer service
3 The strainer lid or pressure gauges should not, be removed
under ANY circumstance while the strainer is pressurized
4 Standard bolted lid models should never exceed 150 PSI
V-Band clamp models should never exceed 125 PSI
5 Install back-ow prevention devices (or check valves) both
upstream and downstream of the strainer to prevent back ow
or vacuum effects which can cause damage to the strainer
housing or screen
6 Install properly sized pressure relief valves both upstream and
downstream of the strainer This will help prevent Strainer
damage to the strainer and screen in the event that water
ow is stopped abruptly, or if water hammering occurs The
pressure relief valves should be set to relieve pressure at
12 times the strainer’s maximum operating pressure (not to
exceed the max rated pressure) Consult your local dealer or
pressure relief valve manufacturer to obtain properly sized
valves for your application
Note: At No Time Should The Internal Pressure Exceed The
Maximum Rated Pressure For Your Strainer
Installation Recommendations
We recommend following the guidelines below when installing
your strainer:
1 The ClimaCool Strainer should be placed on a rm,
supporting surface Failure to do so can cause stress on the
weld joints The weight of the ClimaCool Strainer should not
be supported by the main water line’s connecting it
2 The inlet and outlet connections should be securely fastened
The arrows clearly depict ow direction (see g 1)
3 The back-mount pressure gauges should be installed in the
gauge ports located on the front of the strainer body These
gauges will allow you to monitor the pressure differential
across the strainer screen providing an indication when the
strainer element is clogged and requires cleaning
4 The ClimaCool Strainer lid must be securely fastened
according to the following torque specications to ensure
product safety and an adequate seal
Torque Specications
CLAMPED LID MODELS: ClimaCool Strainer models CS-2,
CS-3, and CS-4C have “over-center latch clamp” lid designs The
over-center clamp does not require adjustment when installing or
removing the lid The lock washer is set at the factory for proper
clamp compression and normally requires no eld adjustment
Minor tightening may be necessary over time The lids are
installed as follows:
1 Place the clamp around the strainer lid
2 Latch the T-bolt with the receiver, and push the latch handle
towards the strainer body until the safety catch engages
