Y Strainer
Y strainers are designed to filter debris from steam, gas, and liquid systems, protecting downstream equipment in industrial piping applications.
With a compact design and optional blow-off valve for easy cleaning, Y strainers are versatile for horizontal or vertical installations, ideal for oil and gas, chemical, and water treatment industries.
Y strainers, named for their Y-shaped configuration, use a perforated or mesh screen to trap debris in steam, gas, or liquid flow, safeguarding pumps, valves, and other equipment. They offer less debris-holding capacity than basket strainers but are suitable for both horizontal and vertical (downward flow) installations. Equipped with an optional blow-off valve, Y strainers allow cleaning without halting flow or disassembling the unit, as the flow flushes out trapped solids. Their robust construction ensures reliability in demanding conditions.
Y strainers are manufactured to meet industry standards, ensuring performance and compatibility in various systems.
