Fabricated Strainers (Y)

Specifications

A “Y” strainer is put in a section of pipe to filter out contaminants and debris from a fluid process. “Y” strainers can connect to the piping in numerous ways such as bolted flanges, threaded piping, and occasionally welding.

They will have an access point above the piping with a perforated metal basket that can be removed and cleaned or replaced.

These strainers can either be straight-through or angled flow. These strainers will have a smaller basket area than a Vertical Inline Strainer, but more than a Tee Strainer – so these can used for process areas with moderate amounts of contamination.

Hendrix Fabrication’s “Y” strainers can be fabricated and rated from 150# to 2,500# ANSI in a wide range of materials like Carbon Steel and different grades of Stainless Steel with sizes ranging from 2” up to 72”.
