The Med Y Type Strainers are constructed from rugged castings that are machined to exacting specifications. These bodies have drilled flanges that are in accordance with ASME B16.1. Alternatively to EN, DIN, BS or JIS Standards.
The Med Y Strainer features a machined groove in both the body and cover for proper screen alignment and to ensure accurate reseating when servicing is required. The gasket is a synthetic fiber that is compressed between the body and cover for maximum strength and durability. Upon request, The Vatac Y Type strainers can be furnished with a blow-off plug. Standard perforated 304 stainless steel screens are furnished for maximum strength. Different size perforations and meshes are available in stainless steel, Monel, and brass to meet specific media requirements. If the media is not indicated, screens for water will be supplied. Self-cleaning is accomplished by opening the valve or drain plug connected to the blow-off port.
Med Y Strainer takes their name from their configuration. They are most commonly used in pressurized lines, gas or liquid, but can also be used in suction or vacuum conditions. They are intended for application where small amounts of solid particulate are expected and where clean-out will be infrequent. If solids will flush easily from the screen, and fluid can be exhausted to the atmosphere, a blow-down valve on the drain port will allow clean-out without removal of the screen, and without interrupting the process flow.
