Removable stainless steel replacement filter element for brass Y strainers used in water supply, plumbing, HVAC and general pipeline filtration. Screen mesh, diameter, length and end structure can be customized according to original samples or technical drawings.
SUNRICH FLOW supplies stainless steel replacement filter elements for brass Y strainers used in water supply, plumbing, HVAC, heating, irrigation and general pipeline systems.
The filter element is installed inside the angled chamber of a Y strainer and is designed to capture rust, sand, scale and other solid particles before they enter downstream pumps, meters, valves and pipeline equipment.
The cylindrical screen can be removed through the threaded cover of the Y strainer for cleaning, inspection or replacement. Stainless steel mesh provides corrosion resistance, stable filtration performance and suitability for repeated cleaning.
Because the internal structure and dimensions of Y strainers vary among manufacturers, replacement filter elements are not always universal. Customers should provide an original sample, technical drawing or detailed measurements before quotation and production.
Different screen diameters, overall lengths, mesh sizes, stainless steel grades and end structures can be customized for valve manufacturers, repair suppliers, plumbing distributors and OEM brands.

Product Structure
A typical Y strainer replacement element consists of:
- Stainless steel woven mesh
- Cylindrical filter body
- Reinforced edge
- Open or closed end
- Supporting ring or end cap
- Optional internal support structure
The final design depends on the original Y strainer body and installation method.
Applications
This replacement filter element is suitable for:
- Brass Y strainers
- Residential water supply systems
- Commercial plumbing systems
- HVAC pipelines
- Heating systems
- Water meter protection
- Pump inlet protection
- Irrigation systems
- Boiler water pipelines
- General industrial water systems
- Valve maintenance and repair
- OEM replacement-part programs
How It Works
When water or another compatible medium passes through the Y strainer, the stainless steel screen captures solid impurities such as rust, sand, scale and pipe debris.
The filtered medium continues through the pipeline, while impurities remain inside the screen. During maintenance, the threaded cover of the Y strainer can be removed and the filter element can be taken out for cleaning or replacement.
Regular cleaning helps maintain flow capacity and reduces pressure loss caused by accumulated debris.

Is the filter element reusable?
Yes. Stainless steel screens can normally be removed, cleaned and reused if they are not damaged or deformed.
Can you produce according to an original sample?
Yes. Sample-based production is recommended for replacement filter elements because it provides the most reliable dimensional match.
What valve sizes can you supply?
Filter screens can be developed for DN15, DN20, DN25, DN32, DN40, DN50 and other customized sizes.
Can you supply the complete brass Y strainer as well?
Yes. Complete brass Y strainers with BSPP, BSPT or NPT threads can also be supplied.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Please provide the valve size, screen diameter, screen length, mesh requirement, quantity and preferably an original sample or technical drawing.
