Y-Strainers: Essential Protection for Pumps and Control Valves

Y-Strainers: Essential Protection for Pumps and Control Valves

Y-strainers are simple but critical components installed in piping systems to remove unwanted solids from fluid flow, protecting expensive pumps, meters, and control valves from damage. They are easy to install and maintain, making them a standard in almost every industrial piping system.

How to Choose a Y-Strainer

Select the strainer size to match your piping, choose the screen mesh based on the size of particles you need to catch (10-50 mesh for most industrial use), and confirm the body material matches your media: cast iron for water, carbon steel for high pressure, stainless steel for corrosive fluids.
