Valves & Y-Strainer Category
Valves and Y-strainers are vital components in piping systems, designed to control fluid flow and protect equipment from debris. Available in materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, and brass, they ensure reliable performance in demanding industrial applications.
Valves regulate, isolate, or prevent backflow of liquids, gases, or steam, while Y-strainers filter out solids to safeguard downstream components like pumps and meters. Their robust design and material options make them ideal for industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment.
Valves and Y-strainers enhance system efficiency by managing flow and maintaining fluid purity. From ball valves for quick shut-off to Y-strainers for debris removal, they are engineered to meet stringent standards. Explore our range of Ball Valves, Gate Valves, and Y-Strainers for detailed specifications.
Valves and Y-strainers are categorized by their design and function to meet specific piping system needs.
Type | Description | Application |
---|---|---|
Ball Valves | Quarter-turn valves with a rotating ball for fast, reliable shut-off. | Oil and gas pipelines, water distribution, chemical plants |
Gate Valves | Linear motion valves for full flow or complete isolation with minimal resistance. | Steam systems, power generation, large pipelines |
Check Valves | Automatic valves that prevent backflow by allowing one-directional flow. | Pump protection, HVAC, wastewater systems |
Y-Strainers | Y-shaped filters with removable mesh screens for debris removal. | Steam, liquid, and gas systems; pump and valve protection |
