Product Name & StandardsScrewed Y StrainerCompliant with API 598, ASME B16.34, and ANSI B16.11 standards.
Core DefinitionA specialized filtration pipe fitting designed for piping systems (including drainage networks), featuring a Y-shaped structure with one inlet and one outlet (optimized for fluid filtration rather than dual distribution). It integrates threaded connections for easy installation, constructed from durable materials such as stainless steel to trap debris, rust, and foreign particles—protecting downstream pipes and equipment from clogging or damage.
Structure & Working Principle
- Key Components: Threaded Y-shaped valve body, cylindrical filter basket with precision mesh, removable cover (for maintenance), and inlet/outlet ports.
- Operating Mechanism: Fluid flows through the Y-shaped inlet into the filter basket; the mesh screen traps solid contaminants (debris, rust, sediment), while filtered fluid passes through the outlet to the downstream system. The Y-shaped design minimizes pressure loss and concentrates contaminants in the basket for convenient cleaning.
- Connection Method: Screwed (NPT/BSPP) ends for secure, leak-tight integration with threaded pipelines, enabling straightforward on-site installation without complex tools.
Performance Advantages
- Durable construction: Manufactured from high-grade materials (stainless steel, carbon steel, brass), offering corrosion resistance and long service life in drainage and general fluid systems.
- Efficient filtration: Precision mesh basket effectively captures foreign particles, preventing pipe blockages and extending the lifespan of downstream components.
- Easy installation & maintenance: Threaded connections simplify assembly, while the removable cover allows quick access to the filter basket for cleaning or replacement.
- Low flow resistance: Y-shaped flow path design ensures smooth fluid transmission with minimal pressure drop, adapting to drainage and low-to-medium pressure piping needs.
- Versatile compatibility: Suitable for drainage systems, water supply lines, and industrial auxiliary pipelines, compatible with various fluid media.
Key Specifications
- Pressure Rating: PN10 – PN250 / Class 150 – 1500.
- Operating Temperature: -29℃ – 425℃ (carbon steel/stainless steel body) / -10℃ – 120℃ (brass body).
- Body Materials: Stainless Steel (304L/316L), Carbon Steel (A105), Brass (ASTM B16).
- Filter Basket Material: Stainless Steel 304/316 (corrosion-resistant, durable).
- Screen Mesh Size: 10 – 200 mesh (customizable based on filtration requirements).
- Connection Type: Screwed (NPT/BSPP) – compatible with standard threaded pipelines.
- Size Range: 1/4” – 2” (common threaded sizes for drainage and general piping systems).
Application Fields
- Drainage Systems: Municipal drainage networks, commercial building wastewater lines, and residential sewage pipelines (for debris filtration).
- Industrial Auxiliary Pipelines: Chemical processing low-pressure lines, water treatment drainage, and compressed air condensate pipelines.
- Commercial & Residential Piping: HVAC systems, water supply branches, and plumbing networks requiring debris removal.
- Specialized Scenarios: Low-pressure fluid systems, drainage networks, and applications where compact, easy-to-maintain filtration is critical (e.g., irrigation systems, small-scale process pipelines).
