Y-shaped strainers are widely used in the pipework of many industries - and for good reason. As special protective fittings, they often ensure the purity of the medium at critical points in a system. In this way, they specifically prevent premature wear of sensitive valves, pumps or even measuring devices. After all, everything should work in the long term.
Sockets or flanged strainers are therefore used in your heating system as well as for steam systems or drinking water in accordance with DVGW. After all, every system benefits from less downtime and lower maintenance costs. Provided, of course, that the manufacturer of your filters has the necessary qualifications. This is where our extensive experience pays off.
At Fergo Armaturen, we specialise in Y strainers, the design of which follows precisely defined DIN or EN standards. We also offer a wide range of products, the majority of which are already in stock. So if you want to buy strainers in Germany, for example with a stainless steel housing, your order can arrive the very next day.
Buy Y strainers that simply work
In most cases, contamination can never be completely avoided. In order to automatically remove foreign bodies from your pipes, it is therefore better to insert a filter. We recommend industrial Y-shaped strainers for this purpose, as they have proven to be particularly effective. In Germany, this type is also known as an angled seat, which is due to its shape and application.
Let us imagine the medium flowing through a pipe and requiring cleaning. When it reaches the housing of a stainless steel strainer, for example, it must first pass through the inclined part. A generally cylindrical sieve is fitted there, which absorbs coarse to fine particles depending on the mesh size selected. The contents are cleaned.
This structure in particular has proven to be an advantage. With a Y strainer, as used in heating systems or other circuits, more dirt can accumulate at the lower end of the filter without impairing the functionality of the entire system. This significantly reduces the manual effort required to clean the strainer. Don't make life unnecessarily difficult for yourself.
Is it important to you that screen changes are uncomplicated?
You've come to the right place at Fergo! Whether sockets or flanges, our strainers score highly when it comes to maintenance.
Inside and outside: Do industrial strainers have to be made of stainless steel?
A whole range of materials is suitable for the housing and cover of your strainer, all of which have different advantages. The decision always depends on your individual case. At Fergo, the choice is yours. We offer you over 100 items made from the following materials:
- Brass
- Brass (nickel-plated)
- Stainless steel
- Steel
- Grey cast iron
- Ductile cast iron
If, for example, maximum temperature resistance is important to you, a stainless steel strainer is probably really recommended. This also provides excellent corrosion protection. If, on the other hand, moderate strength is sufficient, but the strainer is to cover a heating system or applications with drinking water, we recommend brass. More aggressive media such as chemicals may even require PFA-lined fittings.
You can find suitable solutions in the Fergo Shop. Whether you work with high pressures or simply prefer the extremely robust version, we can equip you.
If you still have any questions in the first step, just let us know. Our support team will be happy to advise you on the products and their application.
Flange strainer in Y-shape or sockets?
Long before the fitting is actually installed, you should know how best to integrate it into your system. In industry, strainers with a flange connection are popular because they remain stable even when the pipes are subjected to stress. This type is also the standard for larger nominal widths. Socket strainers on the other hand only rarely exceed DN50. They are very compact and inexpensive, making them ideal for in-house building services or heating systems, for example.
The size of the average system and therefore the filter used alone often make a difference. A flanged strainer manufactured according to DIN specifications makes it possible to change strainers in no time at all. Ultimately, both types of connection reliably protect a suitable system against foreign bodies in the transported medium - if you pay attention to quality when purchasing. So put your trust in the high-quality fittings from Fergo!
Would you like additional protection for your cables?
Our shut-off valves allow you to regulate the flow precisely, while non-return valves prevent the flow direction from being reversed. Protect your pipes.
