Garlock Strainer Gaskets

Protecting Downstream Equipment

In line strainer gaskets are an effective and inexpensive way to protect valuable downstream equipment such as metering devices from dangerous debris in the pipeline. The stainless steel mesh acts as a filter to separate weld beads/slag, pipe scale, grit, and other foreign materials from the process fluids.

• Thickness: 1/8” overall thickness is standard, but other are available
• Sizes: All sizes available up to 30” ID
