1/2 in (15 mm) Brass Y Strainer | VBY15
Available
This AAP brass Y strainer has a brass body, a 304 stainless steel mesh and female threaded ends. It is supplied in 8 sizes from 3/8 in (10 mm) to 2-1/2 in (65 mm).
A Y strainer is fitted in line to protect control equipment, instruments, pumps and regulators. Fluid passes through a perforated stainless steel or wire mesh basket held in a Y shaped body. The basket traps fines and solids, which fall into the leg of the body. AAP says the leg can be flushed out while the plant is running if a ball valve is fitted to it, or the basket can be taken out for cleaning when the plant is shut down.
AAP gives a maximum working temperature of 100 degrees C and a cold working pressure of 1,600 kPa (16 bar), with a thread to AS 1722.2, and lists the valve for filtering fluid to protect inline valving (all manufacturer-stated). AAP does not state the fluids it suits, so check brass and the mesh suit yours.

L is the length of the strainer and H is its height, as shown on the AAP drawing. AAP lists a mesh diameter and a mesh centre to centre figure in mm and does not say whether these are the hole diameter and pitch of a perforated screen or a wire diameter and pitch. Confirm the filtration size with AIMS if it matters.
Selecting the right option
Choose the size to match your pipe thread. AAP lists a mesh diameter and a mesh centre to centre figure in mm and does not say whether these are the hole diameter and pitch of a perforated screen or a wire diameter and pitch. Confirm the filtration size with AIMS if it matters. AAP also lists a stainless steel screwed Y strainer for higher temperature or corrosive duty.
