One of the greatest advantagesof this coupler is the strainer, which has twice the diameterof the ordinary cone strainer. This construction is much lesslikely to be clogged up by foreign matter on account of thegreater surface of the strainer. 636 LOCOMOTIVE APPLIANCES. PRESTO COUPLING NUT The Presto Nut was produced to eliminate the troubleswith injector couplings, and to avoid having to disconnectand take down pipes to make repairs, as has to be done wherethe ordinary coupling nut is used; it can be put on or changedon the pipe in a moment, and therefore dispenses absolutelywith all cost of taking down injector pipes, and in meltingthe sleeves or nipples off and brazing them on again.
