Y-type filter

Filter principle

1. Y-type filters are an indispensable filtering device in pipeline systems that transport fluid media.

2. Y-type filters are usually installed at the inlet of pressure reducing valves, relief valves, shut-off valves (such as the inlet end of indoor heating pipelines) or other equipment to remove impurities in the medium and protect the normal use of valves and equipment.

3. The Y-shaped filter has an advanced structure, low resistance, and convenient discharge.

4. The Y-type filter mainly consists of a connecting pipe, a main pipe, a filter screen, a flange, a flange cover, and fasteners. When the liquid enters the filter basket through the main pipe, solid impurity particles are blocked in the filter basket, and clean fluid is discharged through the filter basket and the filter outlet. The reason why the filter screen is made into a cylindrical filter basket shape is to increase its strength, which is stronger than a single-layer mesh. The flange cover at the lower end of the Y-shaped interface can be unscrewed to regularly remove particulate impurities deposited in the filter basket.

Filter installation method

Before installing the filter, carefully clean the threaded connection surfaces of all pipelines, and use an appropriate amount of pipeline sealant or Teflon tape (PTFE). The end threads are not treated to prevent sealant or Teflon tape from entering the pipeline system. The filter can be installed horizontally or vertically downwards.
