Y-Strainers are devices for mechanically removing unwanted solids from liquid, gas or steam lines by means of a perforated or wire mesh straining element.
Y-Strainers are available with a wide variety of end connections including threaded, flanged and welded. Flanges are designed to ANSI specifications.
• Bolted strainer cap above 40NB size for ease of maintenance.
• Drain Plug as an optional feature for easy upkeep of strainer.
• Unlike other types of strainers, a Y-Strainer has the advantage of being able to be installed in either a horizontal or vertical position. Obviously, in both cases, the screening element must be on the “down side” of the strainer body so that the entrapped material can properly collect in it.
• It is mainly used to remove foreign particles like dirt, dust, and rusting particles in steam and water lines to protect components like control valve, steam traps and pumps.
• They are popular in the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries.
• Easy cleaning without interrupting the process.
• A Y-strainer is typically used to remove particles and solids from liquid, steam, or gas, as these solids tend to cause damage to equipment, filters, valves, and meters further along the pipeline.
• One of the biggest benefits of a Y-strainer is that operations do not need to be shut down while the strainer is cleaned, so it does not interrupt the flow or production
• Can be installed either in a horizontal or vertical position.
• Various perforations, mesh or perforation mesh combinations are available to meet your process requirements.
