Strainer Configuration
Female NPT Inlet
The threaded inlet accepts a compatible male NPT piping component for straightforward installation into the system.
Y-Pattern Screen Chamber
The angled screen chamber captures unwanted particles while allowing fluid to continue through the main flow path.
Female NPT Outlet
The threaded outlet connects to the downstream piping system and protected equipment.
Construction Details
The Midland Class 150 Y-pattern strainer uses a durable bronze body for corrosion resistance and dependable long-term service in compatible piping applications.
A removable stainless steel screen captures debris and sediment before contaminants reach downstream equipment. The threaded cap provides convenient access to the screen for inspection, cleaning, or service.
The angled Y-pattern configuration helps maintain an efficient flow path while providing a dedicated collection area for trapped material.
Why Choose a Y-Pattern Strainer?
Equipment Protection
- Captures debris before it reaches downstream components
- Helps protect pumps and valves
- Helps protect meters and instrumentation
- Reduces contamination-related system issues
- Supports cleaner fluid service
Serviceable Construction
- Removable stainless steel screen
- Threaded access cap
- Screen can be inspected and cleaned
- Bronze body resists corrosion
- Designed for repeated maintenance access
Y-Pattern Design
Efficient Flow Path
The Y-shaped body positions the screen at an angle to the main flow path, helping provide filtration while limiting unnecessary flow restriction.
Debris Collection
Particles captured by the screen collect within the angled strainer pocket where they can be removed during routine maintenance.

What is a Y-pattern strainer?
A Y-pattern strainer is an inline piping component that uses an angled screen chamber to capture debris and particles from flowing media.
What material is the strainer body made from?
The supplied product information identifies the body material as bronze.
What material is the strainer screen?
The supplied product information identifies a removable stainless steel strainer screen.
What type of connections does this strainer use?
The strainer uses female NPT threaded connections.
What is the purpose of the strainer?
The strainer removes debris, scale, sediment, and other unwanted particles before they reach downstream piping components and equipment.
Can the screen be removed for cleaning?
Yes. The supplied product information states that the stainless steel screen is removable for inspection and cleaning.
What media can this strainer be used with?
The supplied information identifies water, oil, air, and other compatible fluids. Always verify material and service compatibility before installation.
How should the strainer be installed?
For typical horizontal installations, the screen pocket should face downward to help collect debris effectively.
How often should the screen be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on system conditions and debris loading. Periodic inspection and cleaning are recommended to maintain proper flow.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm connection size, pressure requirements, operating temperature, media compatibility, installation orientation, and filtration requirements before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for a Midland Class 150 Bronze Y-Pattern Strainer.
- Confirm the required nominal connection size before ordering.
- Verify compatibility between the female NPT connections and mating male-threaded components.
- Confirm bronze and stainless steel compatibility with the intended process media.
- Verify system pressure and operating temperature requirements before installation.
- For typical horizontal installations, position the screen pocket downward for effective debris collection.
- Install the strainer in the correct flow direction where indicated by the valve body or manufacturer markings.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape where permitted by the piping specification.
- Avoid excessive installation torque that could damage the bronze body or threaded connections.
- Provide adequate clearance around the threaded cap for future screen removal and maintenance.
- Inspect and clean the screen periodically to prevent excessive restriction or pressure drop.
- Depressurize and drain the piping system before removing the screen or access cap.
- Confirm pressure, temperature, media, filtration, and project requirements before installation.
