ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a trap for use in a fluid conduit in which foreign solid material may occasionally be carried by the fluid. The trap has a duct-like body, preferably of similar cross-sectional area to the conduit in which it will be installed. A foraminous strainer is located transversely across the body to remove solid material. A cleanout port is located in the duct wall immediately upstream from the foraminous strainer. This can be opened to allow access to the strainer so that any retained solid material can be easily removed. The cleanout port has a self-hinged door with edges bent to provide a light clamping action against the body to retain the door in a normally closed position. The clamping force can be readily adjusted so that the door is opened by the head of liquid retained in the conduit if the strainer becomes plugged by retained solids.
