Y type filter, as the name implies, is a Y-type device, which can filter, or strain out unexpected solids from steam, gas, or liquid in your pipelines.
The Y shape body offers you better flow characteristics than for example a T-shaped strainer does because the fluid flows through the Y strainer filter with less change of direction.
At Kinvalve, the Y strainer sometimes can be fitted with a blow-off connection. This kind of y strainer is a self-cleaning strainer.
In a self-cleaning Y strainer, usually, a ball valve is installed on the strainer cap. When the valve is open, the impurities and solids trapped inside the screen drain out.
This design benefits that you can clean the screen without shutting off your pipeline or disassembling it.
Another advantage of Y type filter is that it has a flexible installation position, horizontal position and vertical position.
For obvious reasons, the Y strainer mesh must be in the downward direction and position regardless of either two installation positions, so that the impurities and solids trapped can be collected inside.
When we are talking about y strainers with our customers, most of them often consider that installation of a Y Strainer is a kind of consumption, but in our opinion, they are a very valuable investment.
They are the patrons of important downstream equipment. These devices can be an important part of your system, expensive and critical.
A simple, inexpensive well-designed Y type filter can protect them from being damaged by sediment, rust, pipe scale, and other extraneous debris.
As a professional Y strainer manufacturer and supplier with over 18 years of experience, we always recommend you to take a serious attitude on Y strainers where clean fluids are required.
Clean fluid can maximize the reliability of the devices and prolong their service life. These devices include but are not limited to Pumps, Turbines, Spray nozzles, Heat exchangers, Condensers, Steam traps, Meters, and other general devices.
Dont underestimate a simple Y type strainer. It can guard these components that are the most valuable and important parts of your pipeline.
As it is referred above, the Y strainer filter mesh is very critical for the function to filter the particles in your application. Without proper filter elements, the wye strainer will lose its reason for existence.
In order to find the right Y strainer filter for your application, you must know the basics of mesh and screen sizing.
There are two basic parameters that describe the size of the Y strainer mesh which debris can pass through, micron and mesh size. They look like different units of measurement, but they express the same standard.
A micron is a unit of length used to represent the diameter of a tiny particle. Intuitively, a micrometer is one-thousandth of a millimeter or about a quarter of an inch.
The Y strainer mesh size describes the number of openings in the mesh across one linear inch. As this measurement method indicates, a 10-mesh screen means youll find 10 openings across one inch. And so on, a 100-mesh screen means 100 openings per inch.
The more the number of openings in each inch, the smaller the size of impurities that can pass through, and the stronger the filtration capacity.
Its important to take time to size your y strainer filter mesh correctly. Too big or too small openings will affect your whole system.
Too small openings will increase the pressure drop through it, filter out some extra impurities, increase the system burden and shorten the cleaning interval.
On the contrary, if the openings are too large, it will lead to unexpected bigger particles passing through, affecting the performance and life of downstream equipment, and even damaging the equipment.
At Kinvalve, we can customize the opening from a size 3 mesh screen with 6,730 microns to a size 400 mesh screen with 37 microns to satisfy your application specifications.
Another critical thing you need to check in a wye strainer is the point where the screen or straining element seals to the body.
At Kinvalve, we always pay more attention to the seat. This seat should be finely processed to fit the screen tightly, so no particles can bypass without filtered by the mesh.
As a leading y type strainer manufacturer and supplier, Kinvalve can customize your y strainers with flanged end or threaded end connections available in stainless steel, carbon steel or cast steel bodies.
At Kinvalve, all the Y strainer meshes are made of stainless steel, of course, special alloy steel also is optional as your requirements.
At Kinvalve, the threaded Y strainer is normally up to 4 inches, and the working pressure is mostly lower pressure like 200psi.
For extremely high-pressure applications, you can choose a Y strainer filter with butt weld end connections.
For the flanged Y strainer, we can provide your y strainer with a range from 1/2inch to 12 inches. Flanged y strainers are usually used for higher-pressure applications.
At Kinvalve, flanged Y strainers are designed to ANSI or JIS specifications. The common types of flanges are RF, FF or RTJ faces.
When talking about the carbon steel Y strainers, they are ideal for the application of the oil and petrochemical industry.
Kinvalve carbon steel Y strainers also excel in resistance to mechanical or thermal shock and its important in case of a fire.
Our carbon steel Y strainers are available in forged steel and cast steel design. The forged carbon steel y strainers are used for higher-pressure applications because of their great strength, and they are usually equipped with butt-welded end connections.
Kinvalve cast steel Y strainers feature good pricing with high performance. Its your cost efficient choice. Cast steel y strainers are available in flanged type and threaded type for lower pressure rating.
At Kinvalve, stainless steel y strainer benefits from the all stainless steel structure, has a strong corrosion resistance, and no contamination. It is ideal for your chemical, food and pharmaceutical applications.

Strainers are important when filtering unwanted materials from piping systems.
There are two main types of strainers, basket strainers and Y-strainers.
This guide will focus on Y-strainers, sometimes referred to as Wye strainers.
We will walk you through the crucial details you need to know about this type of strainer.

Y Strainers
Filters and Y-strainers have a similar function, to remove particles from gas or liquids.
The two are mainly fixed in a piping system to ensure the quality of product and to protect the equipment from damage.
Generally, the Y-strainer and filters help to improve the efficiency of the piping system.
On the flip side, the two differ in terms of the size of particles they trap.
Filters remove particles less than 40 microns, whereas Y-strainers remove particles greater than 40 microns.
In simple terms, filters can trap particles not visible to the human eye. On the other hand, Y-strainers effectively trap particles that you can see with your bare eyes.
Another difference lies in the pressure drop. Fluids passing through a Y-strainer will not experience a pressure drop unless the strainer needs cleaning or replacement.
Conversely, liquid or gas passing through a filter will experience some level of pressure drop.
First, the two differ in terms of their structure and shape. A Y-strainer has a chamber (filter leg) that forms a Y shape. On the other hand, a basket strainer has a vertically oriented chamber.
Also, compared to basket strainers, Y-strainers have a low dirt holding capacity. This makes Y-strainers less ideal for applications that require a large amount of debris collection.
In terms of installation, Y-strainers can be installed either horizontally or vertically. However, basket strainers only permit horizontal installation.
Lastly, basket strainers have less pressure drop compared to Y-strainers. This is because the former has a greater free straining area compared to the latter.
Consequently, the basket strainer is preferred for liquid application.
All strainers, including Y-strainers, use two main types of screens: perforated and Mesh Screen.
As the name suggests, this type of sheet construction involves punching holes on a flat metal sheet. Subsequently, the perforated sheet is rolled and spot weld into a tube.
Generally, the hole sizes range between 0.8 mm 3.2mm. As such, perforated screens are majorly used in trapping average size pipe debris.
The formation of a mesh screen involves arranging fine wire in a mesh or grid arrangement. Commonly, the mesh is then placed over a perforated screen, which supports the mesh.
Unlike the perforated screen, the mesh screen can have small holes sizes small as 0.07mm. Consequently, this screen type is useful in removing small debris that can pass through the perforated mesh.
The filter screen (in this case, mesh screen) is the most important part of a Y-strainer. Without it, no debris will be trapped. As such, you must have the right filter screen for your Y-strainer.
Importantly, proper sizing of the filter screen will dictate the efficiency of the piping system. For example, a filter screen that is too small (with too many openings) will result in a pressure drop.
Also, a small filter screen will trap even unnecessary debris. This will result in clogging, and in turn, increased maintenance costs.
Conversely, a filter screen that is too large will allow large particles to pass, damaging the downstream equipment.
Before we look at the sizing, let us first define the below key terms:
Generally, the larger the mesh size, the smaller the size of the particles that can pass through the filter screen.
To better understand the subject of how to size a Y-strainer filter screen, have a look at the table below.
The table is divided according to the mesh size and the size of particles (in microns) it can trap.
Mesh sizeMicronsParticle Size Example 280.Beach Sand600.Fine Sand2000.Portland Cement3250.Silt4000.Plant PollenApart from using the above table as a guide during the sizing of your filter screen, you can also consider:
We place a lot of emphasis on ensuring that our clients have the correct mesh screen size. The reason being, a large mesh screen will:
Below are the main parts of a Y-strainer:
Y-strainer Parts
The main pipe is where the filter basket is connected. Fluid first enters the inlet of the main pipe before it is redirected into the filter basket.
It is where the complete filtration of the fluid takes place. It houses the filter screen.
The gasket helps prevent any leakage when the fluid gets into the filter leg. To perform this function, it is designed to withstand high pressure and temperature.
The filter screen in a Y-strainer is commonly a mesh screen. Depending on the size of the holes, the filter screen traps various debris present in the fluid.
By loosening or tightening the screw, you can be able to either open or tightly seal the components of the filter leg.
It acts as a cover for the components of the filter leg. Also, it holds the set screw.
When the fluid enters the inlet of the Y-strainer, it goes into the filter leg. The filter leg has a filter screen that traps the solid foreign particles (debris).
The now debris-free liquid then exits the filter basket and is discharged from the Y-strainer via the filter outlet. Over time, the debris accumulates, necessitating regular cleaning of the filter basket.
Before installation, ensure that you adhere to the following for the efficiency of your Y-strainer:
After adhering with the above, you can then commence with the installation process:
One of the perks of a Y-strainer is that it can be installed in two positions, vertically or horizontally. Also, the filter leg can be aligned horizontally or vertically, depending on the application.
For example, in gas or horizontal piping, the filter leg should be in a horizontal plane. This helps prevent media collection in the filter leg, which may result in corrosion.
Conversely, in liquid applications, the filter leg should face vertically downwards. This helps ensure that the removed debris is not drawn back into the media.
Up to this stage, you have now installed your Y-strainer. Now lets consider how to start up your newly installed Y-strainer.
Usually, the Y-strainer is installed immediately before the equipment meant to be protected. For example, if the installation aims to protect a pump, the Y-strainer will be situated at the suction end of the pump.
Such installation, or location, will ensure the foreign solid particles are trapped before getting to the equipment.
The main benefits the Y-strainers have over the other types of strainers (especially basket strainers) include:
Both vertical and horizontal installation. This makes the Y-strainers more versatile and easier to install.
Y-strainers have three main end connections; threaded, flanged, and weld connections.
This is the main type of connection employed by many Y-strainers, mostly for large pipe diameters. Also, they are easy to use and permit fast installation.
Flanged End Connection Y Strainer
They are ideal for systems requiring tight connections or are transporting hazardous or corrosive media. However, flanges are not ideal for high-temperature conditions, i.e. temperatures that exceed 360o.
Importantly, the mating flanges of the pipe and the Y-strainer should be similar for efficient connection.
Once put in place, the flange ends of the pipe and the Y-strainer are secured using several bolts. This ensures that the connection is tightly sealed.
There are two main types of flanges, raised face and flat face flanges. With regard to joints, flanges can either have ring type joints (male or female) or groove and tongue joints.
Notably, Y-strainer flanges should comply with ANSI standards.
Ultimately, the threaded connection is the oldest connection type used in piping. They are commonly used for small diameter Y-strainers.
Compared to the flanged connection, Y-strainers with the threaded connection have a lower pressure rating. Fixing a Y-strainer with a threaded end is as easy as screwing a bolt into a nut.
The usage of threaded Y-strainer is mostly in low cost and noncritical applications. Such uses include domestic water systems, fire protection mechanisms, and water cooling systems in industries.
The welded connections can be subdivided into two types:
For this to be possible, the pipes diameter should be smaller than that of the Y-strainer.
They are a stronger connection alternative compared to other connection types
Importantly, a welded connection should be used where there is no evident need for frequent dismantling.
With competitive price and timely delivery, solid sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.
Y-strainers have the below common applications:
Materials used in the construction of a Y-strainers body do vary. This is aimed at making the Y-strainer ideal for various conditions.
Below are some common materials used.
Since carbon steel is strong, Y-strainers that need high thermal and mechanical resistance are made from it. Primarily, carbon steel Y-strainers are used in the oil and petrochemical industry.
The application of stainless steel Y-strainers is typically in the food, drink, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. This is because stainless steel is less prone to contamination and has high corrosion resistance.
For Y-strainers designed for low pressure and temperature conditions, cast irons are commonly used. It is the most common material used for strainers body construction.
This is the common body material for Y-strainers used in saline or seawater applications. Compared to other options, it is relatively expensive.
Unlike bronze, brass is a more affordable Y-strainer body construction material. It is mostly used for Y-strainers intended for upstream applications to protect pumps, control valves and regulators.
Both Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) are considered versatile materials in constructing a Y-strainers body. The two have high excellent chemical and corrosion resistance.
Also, they have high pressure and temperature tolerance. However, CPVC is slightly superior to PVC.
For example, CPVC has a temperature tolerance of about 94oC, while PVC has a temperature tolerance of around 60oC.
Having the right Y-strainer is key to ensuring it is efficient. You should ensure the following when selecting a Y-strainer.
You will frequently need to disassemble your Y-strainer to clean the strainer back and assemble it back once done.
Y-Strainer
Below is a general disassembly procedure that will guide you:
To assemble back the Y-strainer, you follow the disassembly procedure in reverse.
The main seal materials option for Y-strainers are:
There are two major cleaning methods used in Y-strainers
This is a rather easy cleaning method and does not require you to shut down the system. Preferably, you should commence blow-down cleaning when the pressure differential is between 5 to 10 psi.
All you need to do is to open the blow-down valve and allow the debris to come out. You will then close the valve when the pressure differential returns to normal.
If the pressure differential does not return to normal after blow-down cleaning, it implies you need to initiate the second cleaning option.
This is the other cleaning alternative if the blow-down cleaning is not efficient. It involves the following steps.
The maintenance of a Y-strainer involves three major practices:
You can know when to clean your Y-strainer by keeping tabs on the pressure drop.
As the filter screen traps debris continuously, it becomes blocked, resulting in a pressure drop. Notably, when the pressure differential gets to around 5 to 6 psi, it is time to clean your Y-strainer.
Importantly, do not let the pressure drop to exceed 10 psi. A high-pressure drop will drastically affect the performance of the entire system.
Self-cleaning Y-strainers enable the accumulated debris to be removed without shutting down the system. Usually, they can either be mechanical or automatic.
These types of Y-strainer have a brush or a scraper that dislodges debris trapped on the screen. The debris then falls into a collection area situated at the bottom of the strainer.
As the name suggests, these automatic self-cleaning strainers clean the screen through a backwash cycle.
The fluid moves in a reverse direction to dislodge any particles on the filter screen. This is made possible by a set of valves that can alter the direction of the fluid.
Automatic Self-Cleaning Y Strainer
Note: Apart from the above types, a Y-strainer can be uniquely designed by the manufacturer to self-clean. Examples include the incorporation of knives and metal discs in the strainer to aid in the cleaning process.
The table below will guide you when troubleshooting a Y-strainer:

The prices of a Y-strainer vary mostly depending on:
The life span of a Y-strainer entirely depends on the selection and the maintenance. Choosing the wrong Y strainer will result in shorter service life.
Also, lack of maintenance and regular cleaning will damage the Y-strainer.
Depending on your unique requirements and specifications, we design and manufacture a range of y strainers for your applications.

A check valve is the valve that prevents backflow in a piping system. It is also called a non-return valve or NRV. Bronze check Valves have two ports. These ports allow fluids to flow in one direction and then close to stop flow in the opposite direction, called backflow. Check valves are simple and inexpensive. Their bodies can be made of varying materials like plastic or metal. A bronze check valve is a type of check valve considered durable and corrosion-resistant. Usually, bronze check valves are applied on the discharge side of pumps.
For more information, please visit Afbv Valve.
When a pump stops and backflow occurs, it can damage and destroy the pumping equipment or system. If a piping system uses a single downward-sloping pipe, the possibility of backflow is minimal. In such a case, a check valve may not be necessary.
bronze valvesbronze valves
A bronze check valve is designed to open at a specified cracking pressure, the slight upstream pressure at which the valve can operate. Typically, this type of valve runs automatically, although, in rare instances, it can be manually regulated. There are various types of bronze check valves. It includes spring checks, swing checks, lift checks, ball checks, heart valves, and piston checks. The different types are designed to meet specific application requirements. Leading manufacturers can customize bronze check valves to fulfill the needs of particular customers by incorporating more complex features.
Different categories of bronze check valves perform specific functions. Yet, the bronze ball check valve contains a moveable spherical ball that restricts flow. Typically, it is relatively inexpensive. This type of valve is used in liquid dispensers, rubber bulbs, spray devices, and manual air pumps.
Lift check valves have spring-loaded discs that ease rapid closure and rarely crash. The most prevalent check valve type is a flat disc that pivots on a hinge pin. They typically include accessories such as weight and lever. Because they are electrically connected to a pump control circuit, pump control valves can be synchronized. It enables systematic pipeline fluid velocity control.
Bronze swing heavy check valve.Bronze swing heavy check valve.
A bronze check valve is a device that only allows fluids to flow in one direction. The main function of a bronze check valve is to stop the system from flowing backward. Check valves are cheap, easy, and effective ways to fix a problem that could happen. Backflow can be problematic if the flow is dirty and further pollutes the media upstream. For instance, a sewer line will have a non-return valve to ensure that waste can leave but cant go back into the system it came from.
There are different sizes and shapes. People often use two-way bronze check valves. Bronze check valves with vents are used as three-way check valves to keep backflow from contaminating the water coming into the house. The atmospheric vent lets water that has been purged down a drain.

Application of Bronze Check Valve
Bronze check valves can be utilized in a variety of settings and for a variety of purposes. Yet, they are mainly required to reduce the risk of condensate backflow or drainage in a piping system. A bronze check valve is used in steam locomotives and various pumping devices, such as injectors and feed pumps. Typically, piston-driven and diaphragm check valves are used in metering pumps. Typically, chromatography pumps use back check valves. Ball check valves are commonly found in hydraulic jacks to aid in the pressure buildup required for the lifting function.
Chemical and power facilities use this check valve type to combine numerous gases into a single gas stream. Irrigation sprinklers and emitters use check valves to prevent lines from draining. Yet, the rainwater collection systems require check valves to avoid water contamination from the main supply. Various bronze check valves available on the market are made with different designs and characteristics to facilitate their use in highly sophisticated applications. So, they have variable prices. No single bronze check valve model is suitable for all services.
1) Check valves must be oriented for flow and gravitational effect. On the side of the valve, a directional arrow specifies the needed flow direction.
2) Ensure the piping system is clean and prepared before valve installation. Yet the pipe threads are free of excessive grit, dirt, or burrs.
3) Use pipe sealant, which is suggested for valve end use, on threaded valves.
4) Use solder on solder joint valves, as recommended for end-use valves.
5) Inspect the valve ports and seating surfaces for cleanliness before installation. Care should be taken to ensure that pipe sealant is not excessively applied to the pipe threads to the point where it fouls the valve seat.
6) Establish support for the valve to prevent strains caused by the connected pipe.

What is Bronze Y-Strainer
A Y strainer, shaped like the character Y, is a filter that removes particles from fluids like steam, gas, or water. Mesh, perforated metal, or a wedge wire straining device facilitates this mechanical straining process. A wire mesh is the most typical straining element. Some models also feature blow-off valves, which enable cleaning in settings with more considerable dirt blowing. The strainer is a space-saving Y form. Because the fluid can move through the filter without changing directions, the Y shape provides superior flow characteristics over a T-type strainer.
bronze y strainerbronze y strainer
The objective of a bronze y strainer is to remove undesired particles from steam, gas, or liquid by use of a straining device consisting of wire mesh. This mechanical process protects everything from pumps to steam traps in pipelines. Sometimes, Y strainers are designed with blow-off valves to facilitate the cleaning process. The most significant advantage of the y-type strainer is its flexibility.
It can be put vertically or horizontally, according to the users preference. Although this strainer type is a cost-effective alternative, y strainers can be smaller to save even more cash. This prevents extra materials. Y strainers can be constructed from various substances. The type of material selected is contingent on the industry and application. Yet, any form of the desired conclusion is also possible. A y strainer with the appropriate end exists from socket to flanged!
The number of possible customizations for y strainers is infinite compared to other filters. For this system to succeed, the y strainers design must be appropriate for the application. Before purchasing a y strainer, you must constantly be aware of the application youre working with to achieve the desired outcomes.
Sealing a bronze Y strainer ensures its operation and enhances its lifespan. These are some standard options:
When buying a Y strainer, you may see several similar seals. These consist of FKM, FPM, and Viton. These individual designations all refer to the same fundamental material: fluoro rubber. Why do distinct names exist? The ASTM abbreviates the substance as FKM, but DIN/ISO abbreviates the complete category of FPM. And DuPont Performance Elastomers registered Viton as a trademark for the substance.

Maintenance ease
There is no universal Y strainer that meets all requirements. Before proceeding, it is essential to grasp the application requirements.
A bronze Y strainer is most useful in a setting that demands constant protection against debris and contamination. Consider a few of the most prevalent applications that necessitate their use.
The shape of these strainers is designed to withstand the high pressures present in the steam application, making them an essential resource.
Sand and gravel tend to permeate liquid applications. Y strainers can help keep these particles out to keep the liquid clean. When used with other water-handling applications, these strainers can protect valuable (and costly) equipment against damage, corrosion, or clogging caused by pollution.
Natural Gas and Air Applications Natural gas and air applications often have a low working pressure. Hence, it is essential to size components appropriately to minimize pressure loss from the inlet to the exit.

Strainers are an essential component of several systems, and various kinds are available to meet the requirements of each application. Depending on the operating environment and system specifications, several strainers can be used for maximum performance. This category includes the bronze Y-strainer.
The bronze Y-strainer is famous due to its adaptability and durability. By trapping any foreign particles that may be flowing through the pipelines, it provides exceptional protection against jams and blockages. The strainers unusual shape allows it to catch debris while providing minimal restriction to the flow of liquid or gas, making it a perfect choice for various applications. In addition, bronze is resistant to corrosion. Thus, this strainer can operate well in multiple circumstances without degrading over time.

Essential Factors to Consider for Bronze Y-Strainers
There are several factors to consider while purchasing bronze strainers. One is the metals thickness; you want something durable and long-lasting. Make sure that the filter is large enough to fit over your drain. Finally, inspect the design to ensure that you like it. Some individuals like a more classic appearance, while others desire something more contemporary.
A bronze Y-strainer is essential in numerous industries, including agriculture and petrochemicals. It is also an excellent option for those who want to keep their water lines free of corrosive substances. Numerous advantages of employing a bronze Y-strainer should be considered while selecting the ideal strainer for any task.
The material itself has numerous advantages. In severe settings, bronze resists corrosion significantly better than other materials, such as steel or plastic. Due to its durability and hardness, it does not require frequent maintenance or replacement. In addition, the Y-design strainer helps trap more extensive materials that could otherwise clog pipes and need costly repairs in the future.
Before you install your Y strainer horizontally or vertically, it is essential to check over a few things. You are required to make sure everything is in working condition. Yet the system is within the capacity of the strainer (i.e., ensure the pressure rating of the y-strainer matches the system). Depending on the media passing through your system, you may also need to provide the material is chemically compatible.
You will want to inspect all the seals on the strainer and the pipe to ensure they are defect-free. Yet, the pipeline should also be checked for proper position. If the end connections are built to be threaded or soldered, the piping must be straight and not at an angle. Ensuring the flanges on the piping of the Y strainer are connected to the square prevents undue stress on the system.
Installing a Y strainer in a horizontal or vertical position requires some consideration. There are a few things you should need to check. You need to check if the strainer can sustain the systems load (i.e., ensure the pressure rating of the y-strainer matches the system). It may also be essential to ensure chemical compatibility, depending on the media passing through your system.
It is essential to check the strainer and pipe seals to ensure they are in good working condition. Appropriate alignment of the pipeline should also be checked. The pipe must be straight and not at an angle if the end connectors are meant to be soldered or threaded. Avoiding stress on the system is as simple as checking that the flanges on the piping the Y strainer is attached to are square.
