FAQ

What fluids can the Banjo LST075-80 filter?

The strainer is compatible with water, glycol, light oils, chemicals, and most non‑abrasive liquids commonly found in industrial processes. Its polypropylene material offers resistance to acids, bases, and solvents, making it suitable for a broad range of applications.

How often should the screen be cleaned or replaced?

Cleaning frequency depends on the level of particulate load in the system. In typical water treatment use, a visual inspection and cleaning every 3‑6 months is sufficient. For harsher environments, more frequent checks may be required to maintain optimal flow and prevent clogging.

Is the strainer compatible with existing Y‑strainer assemblies?

Yes. The 3/4″ NPT female fitting matches standard Y‑strainer connections, allowing the LST075-80 to be installed directly into existing setups without the need for additional adapters or modifications.

What warranty does Banjo provide?

Banjo offers a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and workmanship. Should any issue arise within this period, the company will repair or replace the unit at no cost to the customer.

Can the strainer be used in high‑temperature applications?

The polypropylene construction is rated for continuous operation up to 140°F (60°C). For applications requiring higher temperatures, a different material grade should be selected to ensure safety and performance.
