Y And Basket Strainers

Y and basket strainers are used for screening out debris, rust, dust and other contaminants accumulated in the pipelines. These units feature a mesh cylinder which captures large particulates that can otherwise interfere with the operation of valves, pumps and meters. Raptor Supplies offers a wide range of these strainers from brands like Apollo, Banjo, Bell & Gossett, Grainger, Hayward, Watts, Wilkins, SSI, Mueller Industries, Mueller Steam and GF Piping Systems. Hayward basket strainers provide a large straining area for an uninterrupted flow and withstanding pressure ratings up to 150 psi. These units facilitate quick cleaning and replacement by simply removing the threaded plugs from the cover, and can be mounted horizontally for performing well in high-flow applications. Mueller Steam Y-strainers are designed for flushing out pipe scale, gaskets and debris with the help of a screen chamber attached to a valve, without hindering the flow. These strainers feature cast iron construction with a tapered seat for an excellent fit. They are available in flanged, threaded (FNPT) and socket weld type connection variants further integrated with a perforated mesh chamber.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to maintain Y and basket strainers?

  • For every strainer installation, routine cleaning is necessary.
  • Pressure gauges should be installed on the inlet & outlet sides of the strainer to help determine when the screen needs to be cleaned.
  • The pressure loss will typically be double that of a clean screen when the screen is 50 per cent clogged. It should not be permitted for the pressure drop to exceed 30 psi.
  • Never disassemble the strainer when the line is under pressure or if a screen needs to be cleaned or replaced.

What standards do Mueller basket strainers comply with?

ASTM A 126 Class B.

How to install these Y-type strainers?

  • Verify that the media and the strainer materials are compatible.
  • Verify that the pipe & strainer are correctly aligned and provide sufficient support.
  • Ensure that all pipe end connectors are clean and debris-free.
  • Before installing the strainer, apply pipe sealant (pipe dope, Teflon tape, Loctite) to the male end pipe.
  • Verify that the body's arrow points in the same direction as the flow.
  • Use a wrench with flat jaws that correctly fit the hex flats on the strainer body and a pipe wrench on the pipe next to the strainer.
  • Never use a pipe wrench to remove strainers from pipes.
  • Do not ever use an installation torque through the strainer.
  • A pipe joint seal can be established with correct thread sealant application without requiring a lot of turning effort.
  • Before installing the strainer, check the system for leaks.

How can we replace the self-aligning screen of these Y-type strainers?

  • Drain and depressurise the system.
  • Drain the body by opening the ball valve, removing the drain stopper, or loosening the cap.
  • Take the strainer's cap off.
  • Discard or clean the old screen after removal.
  • Change the PTFE gasket's O-ring.
  • Position the screen in the cap.
  • Set up the line and start the cap into the body by hand.
  • After the cap is finger-tight, use a wrench to tighten it for at least two turns.
  • Use thread compound or sealant to reinstall the plug or ball valve.
  • If a leak develops during the test, repeat the steps from starting.
