Y-type strainer is designed to mechanically remove solids and other particles from fluids.
They are an essential component in numerous fluid control applications to ensure no down-stream component is affected by particles within the fluid.
Y-type strainers are often used in liquid applications. Sand and gravel are two very common types of debris that pose a big threat to liquid applications. When combined with water handling applications, y strainers aid in the protection of equipment that would be otherwise damaged or clogged by various unwanted particles.
