Construction
The strainer comprises:
• Housing with female threads and hexagonal ends
• Double sieve with mesh size approximately 0.25 mm and with
mesh carrier
• Blanking plug with sieve holder and hexagonal head
• Disc seal ring
Materials
• Red bronze housing
• Stainless steel double sieve
• Dezincification resistant brass blanking plug

Red-bronze Y-strainer
with threaded female connections
Product specification sheet
Application
FY32 strainers are used in commercial and industrial applications
within the limits of their specifications.
They protect systems against malfunction and corrosion damage
resulting from the ingress of foreign bodies such as welding
beads, sealing materials, metal cuttings and rust etc. This
extends the life of the downstream system and prevents early
failure.
Special Features
• Low flow resistance because of good dynamic flow design of
body
• Brass and stainless steel contruction gives good corrosion
resistance
• Large strainer mesh surface area provides high dirt acceptance capacity
• Sieve carrier ensures good sealing within housing
• Easy removal of sieve for cleaning
Range of Application
Medium Water, oil, compressed air, steam and
other non-aggressive mediums
The filter is constructed for drinking water installations. In case of
a process water application the filter has to be proven individually.
Technical Data

FY32 Red-bronze Y-strainer
Method of Operation
The medium flows in the direction of the arrow through the FY32
and passes through the large surface double sieve from inside to
outside. Dirt particles are trapped and collected by the double
sieve. Accumulated dirt particles can then easily be removed
during programmed cleaning of the strainer.

Installation Example
FY32 Red-bronze Y-strainer
Installation Guidelines
• If possible install in horizontal pipework with blanking plug
downwards
o This position ensures optimum cleaning efficiency
o Where installed in rising pipework dirt particles will not
collect in strainer
• Install shutoff valves
o Enables fast cleaning of the strainer
• Ensure good access
o So that the sieve can be easily removed
Typical Applications
Strainers of this type are essential on inlet pipework to appliances
and systems. They can be used for commercial and industrial
applications within the limits of their specifications.
Strainers must be fitted:
• Where the presence of dirt can cause premature wear in
machines or systems
• Where it is possible that appliances or systems can become
blocked
• Where the ingress of dirt particles can cause corrosion
o Simplified maintenance and cleaning
Inspection and Maintenance
