Description:
As the name implies, a strainer helps screen out particulate matter in a piping system. Although steam traps get most of the glory, strainers also play an important role in the efficient operation of a well-designed system.
Wanan offers strainers in a wide choice of sizes and materials to meet most pipeline straining requirements. All of our strainers are made to high standards and are guaranteed to be free from defects in workmanship or material.
Wanan Y-type strainers are available in cast iron, carbon steel, chrome-moly, forged steel, stainless steel and bronze. Connections come in screwed, socket weld and flanged configurations.
Applications
Steam, water, oil or gas where protection from foreign matter in a pipeline is required.
Construction
The Wanan Style B strainers are constructed from rugged cast iron castings that are machined to exacting specifications.
Features
The Wanan Style B features a tapered bushing in sizes 1/4" thru 2" and bolted cover with gasket for sizes 2-1/2", 3" and 4".
All Wanan Style Y type strainers are furnished standard with a NPT blow-off connection and can be supplied with a cast iron blow-off plug upon request.
