ABSTRACT:
An automatic fluid flow control device and method are disclosed. The fluid flow control device provides a constant flow rate of strained fluid despite varying differential pressures and employs a combination of a unitary body with a first valve to open or close the device to fluid flow and an integrated, removable strainer in the form of a cup that encircles an inlet of a removable flow control valve. The body is essentially in the shape of a "Y" and provides a compact valve with minimum threaded joints and access to the various components thereof with minimum disassembly. The removable strainer is configured and arranged in a manner so that fluid flows from the outside to the inside of the cup-shaped strainer, allowing easier use and cleaning.
