Wye irrigation strainers

Y Strainers are devices for mechanically removing unwanted solids from liquid, gas or steam lines by means of a perforated or wire mesh straining element. They’re used in pipelines to protect pumps, meters, control valves, steam traps, regulators and other process equipment.

If you’re looking for the best on the market, we recommend the Zurn Wilkins YBXL Bronze Wye Type Strainer. It’s a perfect choice for preventing damage to downstream components because of sand and other debris in the water.

Scientifically designed to protect valves and equipment from fouling, this Y type strainer is made of cast bronze. Bronze-body wye (or “Y”) strainers are an effective option for removing dirt, rust, and adhesives from piping systems. They’re often used in brackish, saline, and seawater applications, as well as for potable water services.

The Zurn Wilkins YBXL wye-type strainer is recommended for a variety of water application service lines, including residential and commercial irrigation, swimming pools and cooling tower water.

Other features:

  • Stainless-steel internal screen
  • Domestically manufactured
  • Low-lead compliant (suitable for all no-lead potable water installations and applications, in full compliance with lead-free plumbing laws).

We carry the following sizes:

Zurn - 2" Model S Bronze "Y" Type Strainer

Zurn - 1-1/2" Model S Bronze "Y" Type Strainer

Zurn - 1-1/4" Model S Bronze "Y" Type Strainer

Zurn - 1" Model S  Bronze "Y" Type Strainer

Zurn - 3/4" Model S Bronze "Y" Type Strainer

We also recommend Legend Valve & Fitting’s 3/4" T-16 Compact-Pattern Y-Strainer.

Legend Valve & Fitting’s irrigation wye strainer also features a lead-free design.

Compact-pattern body is ideal for confined piping installations.

  • Designed to protect downstream components, by trapping and holding debris under pressure.
  • Equipped with a high-efficiency, 304 stainless steel, sheet-extruded strainer.

The sealed screen cap is not drilled and tapped for a closure plug, but can be removed for cleaning and screen replacement. The screen cap must be positioned downward when installing the T-16NL in the horizontal position. In the vertical position, the media must flow downward.

  • The diamond-shaped openings of the extruded strainer have edges that are angled outward, improving straining and debris holding, as these edges break-up and trap debris more effectively than traditional round-wire, square opening, woven-mesh strainers.
  • Third-party tested and certified in compliance with U.S. Federal Public Law 111-380 (the national lead-free plumbing law).
  • Female-threaded ends comply with ANSI / ASME B1.20.1
  • Manufactured in an ISO-accredited facility.

Air gap fitting products

An air gap is a vertical break between the supply pipe and the receiving source to provide backflow protection into the potable water system.

We carry the Watts 1” Air Gap for Reduced Pressure Zone Assemblies.

This lead-free backflow preventer provides an unobstructed, physical separation between the discharge end of a potable water supply line and an open receiving vessel. The installation of an air gap and drain line are recommended on reduced pressure zone assemblies.

Features:

  • Installs easily
  • Collects water discharged by the relief valve
  • Can be installed vertically or horizontally (vent elbow required for vertical installation)

We also carry the Zurn - 3/4" - 1" 975XL, Iron, NPT Outlet Air Gap Drain and the Zurn - 1/2" - 1" Air Gap Adaptor Fitting.

Both are designed for use with the ¼-inch through 1-inch Model 975XL, 375, and 475 and can be used on horizontal or vertical installations. Both are necessary when installing a drain line and can be mounted to the body. (Drain line can be any standard piping material).
