Y Strainers

Y strainers, also known as wye strainers, are shaped like a "Y" and install inline to prevent solids, pipe scale, rust, and debris from mixing into liquid, gas, or steam in a flowline. Y strainers use perforated or wire mesh straining screens and install vertically or horizontally to protect pumps, meters, control valves, steam traps, regulators, and other process equipment. These strainers are available in a variety of sizes and materials.
