'Y' Type Strainers Strainers take their name from their configuration. They are typically
used in application where the amount of solids to be removed is small,
and where frequent clean - out is not required. They are most commonly
used in pressurized lines, gas or liquid, but can also be used in
suction or vacuum conditions.
A Y-Strainer has the advantage of being able to be installed in either
a horizontal or vertical position. However, in both cases, the
screening element or leg must be on the downside of the strainer
body so that entrapped solids can be properly collected and held for
disposal. A blow down plug on the drain port will allow clean-out
without removal of the screen, and without interrupting the process
flow.
