Spirax Sarco 3/4" Fig12 Ductile Iron Y-Type Strainer

Product Overview

Spirax Sarco Fig12 ductile iron Y-type strainer is a high-efficiency device specifically designed for industrial fluid filtration, using a ductile iron body combined with a carbon steel cap, fitted with high-precision filter mesh to effectively capture impurities in the medium and protect downstream equipment for safe operation. The product complies with the European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC and is ISO 9001 certified, supports BSP or NPT threaded connections, and allows selection of filter mesh with different apertures and mesh sizes according to actual requirements. The cap can be drilled and tapped to install blowdown or discharge valves as needed, suitable for steam, gas and liquid systems.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation Requirements

  1. The strainer must be installed horizontally according to the flow direction on the body. In steam or gas pipelines, the body must be kept horizontal; in liquid systems, the body must be installed vertically downward.
  2. Shut-off valves must be installed upstream and downstream to facilitate maintenance and mesh replacement.
  3. Remove all protective items before installation, slowly open the shut-off valves to normal operating conditions, and check for leaks.

Maintenance Specification

  1. When safety operating procedures are followed, maintenance can be carried out directly on the pipeline.
  2. It is recommended to replace the cap gasket and related spare parts during maintenance to ensure sealing performance.
  3. The stainless steel support ring in the cap gasket must be handled carefully to avoid damage.

Disposal Instructions

The product is recyclable and, when disposed of according to standard procedures, will not cause environmental harm.
