Y Strainers
Y-shaped strainers protect piping systems and downstream equipment from debris and contaminants while maintaining a compact profile suitable for space-constrained installations. The distinctive Y design minimizes pressure drop while providing accessible cleaning through a heavy-duty hex cap.
Hayward® Y-strainers feature ultrasonically welded 1/32″ perforated plastic screens that are stronger than glued alternatives. Available in clear PVC for visual monitoring of debris accumulation, plus Type 316 stainless steel screens in micron ratings from 1/2″ down to 325 mesh.
Specifications
- Screen size: 1/32″ perforated plastic standard with stainless steel options
- Mesh sizes: Available from 1/2″ down to 325 mesh for varied filtration needs
- Port sizes: 1/2″ to 2″ with socket or threaded pipe connections
- Features: Quick-removal hex cap for easy screen cleaning and replacement
Applications
- Pump inlet protection preventing cavitation damage from debris ingestion
- Instrumentation line protection safeguarding sensitive flow and pressure gauges
- Equipment connection filtration in chemical injection and metering systems
- Both horizontal and vertical piping configurations in flexible installations
