Y-Strainers are designed for uses requiring low maintenance, easy cleaning, and solid particle composition. A Y strainer gets its "y" shape from the angle at which the main pipe and filter are attached. They are typically utilised with steam, liquid, or gas, though they can also be used in vacuum or suction conditions. They often have lower dirt-holding capacities than "T" shape strainers. They require frequent cleaning. It is possible to arrange them either vertically or horizontally.

Applications of Y Strainer:
In numerous industries, such as chemical processing, petroleum, power generation, and maritime, Y-Strainers are employed in a range of liquid straining applications to safeguard downstream process system components. Y-Strainers are widely used in water handling applications to avoid equipment damage or obstruction from unwanted sand, gravel, or other particles. They are generally used in liquid and steam applications.
