Cast Iron and Carbon Steel strainers

​

Y Strainers (or "Wye Strainers") mechanically remove debris in pipeline with a cylindrical straining element, often called a screen. They can be placed in horizontal or vertical pipelines (downward only) and require regular cleaning of the screen for proper operation.

​

Basket strainers are used to mechanically remove debris in pipelines with a straining element that is shaped like a basket. Basket Strainers are typically used in horizontal pipelines. In most cases, they provide more open area for debris collection than a Y strainer and need less frequent cleaning.
