F.P.T. Wye Type Non-Metallic Series

(YS) Strainers

Wye Type (YS Series) strainers are available in sizes 3" through 12". The design of the YS/Wye Type Series allows for in-line piping in either a vertical or a horizontal orientation. The YS series is available in wetted parts of PVC, CPVC, PP and PVDF. In addition, an all-FRP unit is available. All CYL units feature a cleanout valve. This eliminates the need for removing the basket when performing routine cleaning.

Materials of Construction

Bodies
F.P.T. utilizes its standard composite laminate construction (CLC) for all strainers manufactured in PP and PVDF and in sizes 6" through 12" for strainers manufactured in PVC and CPVC. 3" and 4" PVC and CPVC strainers are molded.

Baskets
Baskets are manufactured in heavy gauge PVC, CPVC, PP, PVDF or Stainless Steel. Standard perforations are:

1/8" holes on 7/32" staggered centers
1/4" holes on 3/8" staggered centers

Contact FLUIDTROL for other perforations

Pressure Drop

As with all Fluidtrol strainers, the CYL is engineered to offer the lowest practical pressure drop. Pressure drop through the strainers is determined by several factors. These are line size, flow rate, specific gravity, viscosity and percent of open area of the basket. To minimize the pressure drop, the basket open area is at least 3 times the cross sectional area of the inlet pipe. (Through clean baskets only).
