How Does a Y Type Strainer Work?

The Y type strainer is installed at the inlet, mainly to remove the medium in the pipe to protect the pressure reducing valve, pressure relief valve, water level valve and water pump and other equipment to achieve normal operation. So do you know what the working principle of the Y type strainer is?

The Y type strainer is a filtering device required for the use of hydraulic control valves and precision mechanical products that are easy to clog. It is an indispensable device for the pipeline series that conveys the medium. It is usually installed at the front end of each matching valve in the water inlet pipeline such as hydraulic control valves, pressure reducing valves, pressure relief valves, and water level valves to remove impurities in the medium. When the medium in the pipeline first enters the filter, the medium enters the connected valve through the filter screen, while the impurities remain in the filter barrel, preventing granular impurities from entering the channel and causing blockage, causing various valves to fail because these debris are stuck in the sealing ring, thereby protecting the accessories on the equipment pipeline from wear and blockage.
