Y Strainers

Y STRAINERS�are typically used in applications where the amount of solids to be removed is small, and where frequent clean-out is not required. �They are most often installed in gaseous services such as steam, air, nitrogen, natural gas, etc. �The compact, cylindrical shape of the Y-strainer is very strong and can readily accommodate the high pressures that are common in this type of service.�Y-strainers can be installed in either a horizontal or vertical position. �However, in both cases, the screening element or "leg" must be on the "downside" of the strainer body so the entrapped solids can be properly collected and held for disposal.� Our Y strainers are available in cast bronze, iron, steel or 316SS and molded from PVC, CPVC, polypropylene, PVDF and PTFE materials.
