A strainer formed by a body member defining an inlet passage for receiving the fluid and an outlet passage for discharging the fluid. A chamber is connected to the outlet passage and an internal passage connects the inlet passage to the chamber. A separator is disposed in the chamber for separating particles from the fluid as the fluid passes through the chamber. The fluid is thus routed into the inlet passage, and through the inlet passage to the chamber where the particles are separated. The fluid is then passed to the discharge passage for discharging the fluid to a conduit.

[ What is claimed is:] [5.] A method of separating particles from a fluid flowing through a conduit comprising the steps of introducing the fluid into the lower end of a vertically-extending inlet passage, passing the fluid upwardly through the inlet passage and then discharging the fluid into an upper end of a chamber having an axis extending parallel to the axis of the passage, allowing the fluid to flow downwardly through the chamber, disposing a conical-shaped filtration material in the chamber which passes the fluid and retains particles over a predetermined size to separate the particles from the fluid as the fluid flows downwardly through the chamber, and discharging the separated fluid from the chamber at an angle to the direction of the fluid flow through the chamber.
