Y and Basket Strainers

Y strainers, also known as wye strainers, are inline strainers that are fashioned like a "Y" that prevent particles, pipe scale, rust, and debris from mixing with liquid, gas, or steam in a flowline. Y strainers protect pumps, meters, control valves, steam traps, regulators, and other process equipment by using perforated or wire mesh straining screens that can be installed vertically or horizontally. These strainers come in a wide range of sizes and materials.
