Viking Pump Lid-Ease Basket Strainer F-1020 2" Flanged Class 150

The Viking Pump Lid-Ease Basket Strainer F-1020 is a robust, cast iron inline strainer designed to protect pumps, valves, and other equipment from debris in fluid systems. This 2-inch flanged model features a quick-opening lid for easy basket removal and cleaning without tools, reducing downtime in industrial applications. Ideal for use in chemical processing, petroleum, water treatment, and general manufacturing where reliable filtration is critical. Key features include a durable cast iron body for corrosion resistance in non-aggressive fluids, a stainless steel perforated basket for effective particle capture, and ANSI Class 150 flanged connections for secure integration into piping systems. Advantages over similar products include the patented Lid-Ease mechanism for faster maintenance, higher flow capacity with minimal pressure drop, and compatibility with viscous fluids up to 200 psi. Drawbacks may include its weight and unsuitability for highly corrosive environments without upgrades. This used unit shows minor rust on flanges but remains fully functional, offering cost-effective performance compared to new models from competitors like Eaton or Mueller.
