Y Strainers

When you need to remove solids from your gas, liquid or steam line, Y strainers are the right choice.

Y strainers have many industrial applications, the most common of which is steam applications. A Y strainer, unlike an inline strainer or basket strainer, is designed in a compact and cylindrical shape, built to withstand high pressures. The strainers offer protection for your pumps, control valves, steam traps, meters and regulators further along in the pipeline. Whether protecting equipment or removing sand and gravel, or in use in petroleum, chemical processing, power generation, marine businesses, food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries, Y strainers can help.

One major advantage of the Y strainer is that unlike other strainer types, it can be installed horizontally or vertically.
