How to Specify Y-Strainer Screens

  • Body size & make: Screen OD and length must match the Y-strainer body exactly.
  • Perforation & mesh: Perforated screen, with a mesh liner (20–100 mesh) for finer straining.
  • Material: SS304 or SS316 for most fluids; Monel for sea water.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L, Monel 400, Inconel 600; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

  • Blow down through the drain connection regularly to clear debris without opening the body.
  • Replace the cap gasket whenever the screen is removed.

Common Mistakes

  • Ordering a screen by pipe size alone when different body makes vary.
  • Fitting too fine a liner on steam lines, which blinds with scale.

When Y-Strainer Screens Is Not the Right Choice

Not a fine filter; for micron ratings use a cartridge filter downstream.
