A Y-strainer can be set on in a vertical or horizontal position on a circuit, with the screen pointing downward in order to catch all the dirt and particles. It is important to think about cleaning or draining from the waste collected. The draining cap and the removable screen make cleaning easy.

The Y-strainer is made up of several parts, the most important ones being the body, the screen (mesh), and the bolted bonnet with draining cap.

On the removable stainless-steel screens, the mesh can have different sizes, ranging from 0.15mm to 5mm depending on the products and uses.
