Y Strainers (or "Wye Strainers") mechanically remove debris in pipeline with a cylindrical straining element, often called a screen. They can be placed in horizontal or vertical pipelines (downward only) and require regular cleaning of the screen for proper operation.
Features of Titan Y Strainers
All Titan Cast Iron and Carbon Steel strainers are epoxy painted providing an increased resistance to rust and corrosion.
Hex ends on threaded units allow for quick and easy installation.
Finer filtrations are possible with precision machined screen seats in both the body and the cap. This also helps to ensure proper alignment during assembly.
Encapsulated gaskets extend the life of the gaskets and aid in preventing a gasket blowout.
Large strainer bodies provide a large open area ratio that minimizes pressure drop.
Drain/Blow-off plugs are provided at no additional cost on applicable models. Blow-off valves can be installed in-house to enable self-cleaning and reduce maintenance time at the job site.
Numerous straining element options are available (perforation, mesh, and material) and Titan can quickly provide replacements when needed.
