Y-Type Strainer – Flanged Pipeline Strainer

Y-type strainers are mechanical filtration devices used to remove dirt, rust, scale, and solid particles from liquids, gases, and steam flowing through pipelines. This flanged Y-type strainer is designed to protect valves, pumps, steam traps, flow meters, and other downstream equipment from damage caused by debris.

The Y-shaped body allows continuous flow with minimal pressure drop, while the removable strainer screen enables easy cleaning and maintenance. Flanged end connections ensure secure installation and leak-free performance in industrial piping systems.

Y-type strainers are widely used in steam systems, water lines, oil pipelines, chemical processing, power plants, and general industrial utilities.
