Y TYPE STRAINER

A Y-type strainer is a compact and efficient device used to filter out solid particles and debris from fluids in pipelines, protecting downstream equipment like pumps, valves, and heat exchangers. Named for its Y-shaped design, this strainer allows fluid to flow through a mesh or perforated screen, trapping impurities while maintaining smooth flow. Its angled construction makes it suitable for both horizontal and vertical installations, providing versatility in various systems. Y-type strainers are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, and HVAC systems, where efficient filtration and equipment protection are essential. They are valued for their durability, low maintenance requirements, and ease of cleaning, typically through a drain plug or blow-off connection.
