Strainer Configuration
Y-Pattern Body
The angled strainer chamber directs collected debris away from the primary flow path while allowing media to continue moving through the system.
Removable Screen
The stainless steel screen captures suspended debris and can be removed for inspection, cleaning, or replacement when required.
Threaded Cleanout Cap
The removable cap provides convenient access to the screen without requiring replacement of the complete strainer body.
Construction Details
The 316 stainless steel body provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability for demanding compatible commercial and industrial piping environments.
Flow passes through the internal stainless steel screen, where dirt, rust, pipe scale, and other suspended debris are captured before reaching downstream equipment.
The threaded cleanout cap allows routine screen access, helping simplify preventive maintenance and maintain system flow performance.
