COSHOCTON, Ohio – Ohio Fabricators Company (OFCO), manufacturer of stock and custom strainers, breathers, diffusers and screen assemblies for the filtration and fluid power industries, has created new screen assemblies for water and petroleum-based solutions.

OFCO’s “PS” strainers were specifically designed for use with portable pest control equipment but are applicable to any business requiring a high-quality strainer.

“PS” strainers are constructed for water-based fluids where corrosion and low cost are competing factors. The cap and base are made from one-piece high strength nylon.

The inner perforated support core is constructed of galvanized steel which adds strength to the pleated stainless-steel wire cloth and is epoxy bonded for leak-proof service. Connections are currently available in sizes of 1/2” female, 3/8” male and 3/8” female NPT hex nut sizes.

The PS strainers provide:

  • Reliable, low-cost filtering of water-based fluids, most coolants, lubricating oils, some phosphate esters, and other process fluids.
  • One piece construction with generous screen area for minimal down time for cleaning or replacement.
  • Maximum effective screen area for contaminant collection.

Benefits

Can be used for straining water-based fluids and oil-based chemicals; Stainless steel construction prevents rust.

Features

Nylon male (nipple with hex) and female (hex) used for easy installation of the one-piece cap to provide strength and stability to hold the strainer body to protect the pump. Designed as an in-tank strainer to be installed below the fluid level.

Options

1/2″ and 3/8″ NPT female couplings

3/8″ male NPT coupling
