temporary Strainer gap post flush
temporary Strainer gap post flush
(OP)
good afternoon, I am wondering if there is a standard practice for flanged, cone type, temporary strainers for when they are removed post flush. Is the strainer replaced with a spacer and the two gaskets or perhaps is there a thicker gasket which would fill the resulting gap?
thanks
Mark

Granted if the strainer is actually an RTJ solid disc, then use a spacer, but many are just 2mmthick.
Given you have to remove the pipework to remove these sorts of filters, it's all fairly loose so is there a reason you can't find an extra 5mm??

"flanged" is a bit vague. May are just thin metal, some are proper spacers. Which is yours?

I don't think this is really "springing" but if it is then introduce a ring and use two gaskets.
