The FIVC Strainer is designed to be installed in pipelines to collect and prevent solid impurities from entering the system. By separating solids in the fluids and depositing residues in the passage, they prevent solid impurities from entering the pipeline, resulting in increased pressure losses and oxidation. The collected debris can thereby be disposed of, and the filter can be cleaned without removing the strainer from the line.

Strainers are usually installed prior to the isolation valve, check valve, and pressure reducer at the entrance to the water supply system. It may also be used in closed heating circuits at the entrance to the heat generator to protect the exchanger from impurities arising from the system.

This Y-Strainer is suitable for drinking water, as it is WRAS-approved.
