Strainer Configuration
Female NPT Inlet
The inlet accepts a compatible male threaded pipe, nipple, or fitting for straightforward installation into threaded piping systems.
Y-Pattern Screen Chamber
The angled body directs suspended debris into the removable stainless steel screen while allowing compatible media to continue through the main flow path.
Female NPT Outlet
The outlet connects to a compatible downstream male threaded piping component.
Construction Details
The Midland threaded Y strainer uses a durable ductile iron body designed for strength and long service life in compatible piping applications.
A removable 304 stainless steel mesh screen captures suspended sediment and debris before contaminants reach downstream equipment.
Female NPT threaded ends simplify installation, while the threaded cleanout cap provides convenient access to the screen for inspection, cleaning, and routine maintenance.
Why Use a Y Strainer?
Downstream Equipment Protection
- Helps protect pumps

304 Stainless Steel Screen
Corrosion Resistance
The supplied product information identifies the mesh screen as 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and dependable service in compatible applications.
Debris Capture
The screen traps suspended solids before they can travel farther downstream and potentially affect sensitive equipment.
Female NPT Connections
Threaded Inlet
The female NPT inlet accepts a compatible male threaded pipe or fitting and allows installation without flanged hardware.
Threaded Outlet
The female NPT outlet provides a matching threaded connection for continuing the piping run downstream of the strainer.
Typical Applications
Water & Building Systems
- Water distribution piping
- HVAC systems
- Commercial plumbing
- Irrigation piping
- Building mechanical systems
Municipal & Industrial Systems
- Municipal utility piping
- Industrial water systems
- Plant utility piping
- Equipment protection applications
- Compatible fluid handling systems
Threaded vs. Flanged Y Strainer
Threaded Y Strainer
A threaded strainer uses female NPT connections and is well suited for smaller piping systems where threaded installation is preferred.
Flanged Y Strainer
A flanged strainer uses bolted flange connections and is commonly selected for larger pipe sizes or systems where flanged components are specified.
Our valve, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your valve size, FIP connection requirements, pressure rating, handle configuration, media compatibility, and application before you order.
