Y TYPE STRAINER

Y-type line strainers protect your fluid handling system against the damage that can occur to valves, traps and other equipment when foreign matter such as dirt, scale or welding particles travel through the pipeline. Available with Butt Welded or Flanged end connections in Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Bronze or Cast Iron; for services up to 1480 PSI.Strainers feature a machine-tapered seat for a perfect fit of the removable strainer screen; and a blow-off plug that can be replaced with an optional ball valve for inline blow down of dirt, scale, etc. Selected sizes are in stock and ready for immediate delivery.Y-Strainers take their name from their configuration. Y-Strainers are devices for mechanically removing unwanted solids from liquids, gas or steam lines by means of a perforated or wire mesh straining element. Y-strainers are very cost effective straining solutions in many applications, where the amount of material to be removed from the flow is relatively small, resulting in long intervals between screen cleanings. The strainer screen is manually cleaned by shutting down the line and removing the strainer cap.Stainless steel Y-strainers are used where high corrosion resistance or where freedom from contamination is required. They are popular in the chemical, food and pharma industries.
