Product Overview

Named after its configuration, the Y-filter is a device that mechanically removes unwanted solids from liquid, gas, or vapor lines by means of perforated or wire mesh filter elements. Y-filters are a very cost-effective filtration solution in many applications where the amount of material removed from the fluid is relatively small, resulting in long intervals between screen cleanings. Filter screens are cleaned manually by shutting down the line and removing the filter cover.
Although the Y-filter is often used in many different types of fluid applications, it is considered standard for steam applications and is almost universally used in these applications. Its compact cylindrical shape is very robust and can withstand high pressures. It is literally a pressure vessel. It is not uncommon to find Y-filters that can handle pressures up to 6,000 psi.
In addition to steam, Y-filters are often used in air or natural gas applications. Here, high pressures are not uncommon. However, unlike steam, high air pressure does not automatically mean high temperatures, so a plain carbon steel body with adequate wall thickness is usually sufficient.
Unlike other types of filters, Y-filters have the advantage that they can be installed either horizontally or vertically. Obviously, in both cases, the screening element must be located on the “lower” side of the filter body so that the trapped material can be correctly collected in it.
Some manufacturers reduce the size of the Y-filter body to save material and reduce costs. Before installing a Y-filter, make sure it is large enough to properly handle the flow.
Inexpensive filters may indicate undersized equipment.
Stainless steel Y-filters are used where high corrosion resistance or non-contamination is required. They are popular in the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries.
Y-strainers are available with a variety of end connections, including threaded, flanged, and welded.
