Y Strainer

The CMI STY Series Y Strainer is designed to remove unwanted particles from pipelines, protecting downstream components such as pumps, flow meters, control valves, and nozzles. The Y-type design allows effective filtration while maintaining compact installation space.

Particles are captured by a removable stainless-steel screen, which can be easily cleaned or replaced.
CMI Y strainers are available in both cast and fabricated designs, depending on size, material, and pressure requirements.

All fabricated Y strainers are engineered and manufactured according to ASME standards, ensuring safety and long-term durability.
