Duplex strainer

A duplex strainer has two straining chambers and a changeover arrangement so one basket can be isolated while the other is in service. Flow continuity depends on the actual design and changeover method and is not guaranteed by the name alone. Switching path, isolation, screen, and service clearance require verification.
