"the eXcluder"
Manufactured by Cobb Sales Co. - U.S. Patent No. 5393425
-
"the eXcluder" is a lateral line strainer. It installs
inside the mainline pipe at the pipe outlet. It strains off sand, gravel,
rust and other trash from the outlet that are large to cause a stop up.
-
"the eXcluder" is self cleaning, when properly
installed. The items that are strained off pass to the end of the pipeline,
where they are flushed.
-
"the eXcluder" is simple to install. Align with the
flow of the mainline pipe and press into the outlet nipple or threaded
gooseneck, then screw the nipple into the mainline pipe. The basket strainer
of "the eXcluder" extends into the mainline pipe to strain
the water leaving the pipeline.
-
"the eXcluder" offers very little restriction. The
inside diameter is 1/2" and the open area of the strainer basket is
1/2" on each side. Slots in the basket are .050" wide to strain
off parts that will plug a #4 nozzle (.065").
You can eliminate 90% of nozzle plugging on a center pivot by installing "eXcluders"
in the first three spans of a new system.
