Dear Friend,

I would Suggest that after the Isolation Valve Put the Temporary Strainer and then The Mating Flange. At the End of Strainer put the break up Flanges for easy removal of Temporary Strainer, without removing Spools and Reducer Near Suction Nozzles which will also avoids the Problem of MISALIGNMENT at Suction Nozzle.

Thanks And Regards
