Compare Strainer Types
| Strainer Type | Orientation | Debris Capacity | Maintenance Access | Pressure Loss | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Y Strainer | Horizontal or Vertical | Low | Manual plug or blowdown | Moderate | Compact installs, high pressure |
| Simplex Basket Strainer | Horizontal Only | Medium–High | Top-opening basket | Low | General inline filtration |
| Duplex Basket Strainer | Horizontal Only | High | Dual baskets, isolatable | Low | Continuous flow, no downtime |
| Fabricated Basket Strainer | Horizontal Only | Custom | Davit/lift assist | Low | High-debris, large-bore pipelines |
Key Selection Considerations
- Flow rate: Basket strainers allow higher capacity flow with reduced pressure drop.
- Debris load: Choose basket strainers for longer run-times between cleaning.
- Installation space: Y strainers are more compact for tight installations.
- Cleaning frequency: Duplex strainers allow cleaning without stopping flow.
- Orientation: Basket strainers are horizontal-only; Y strainers offer more flexibility.
- Material compatibility: Options include stainless steel, cast steel, and ductile iron bodies with various mesh sizes.
Common Applications
- Process water filtration
- Pump and valve protection
- Cooling tower lines and HVAC

Installation & Maintenance Notes
- Install with correct flow direction indicated by cast or labelled arrow

- Y strainers may require drain plug or blowdown valve for debris removal
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use a basket strainer for potable water?
Yes – stainless steel strainers with EPDM seals are suitable. Please confirm WRAS or relevant approvals before use. - What’s the benefit of a duplex basket strainer?
It allows uninterrupted flow during basket cleaning or maintenance – ideal for pumps and systems that cannot stop. - What pressure ratings are available?
Standard models handle up to 16 BAR. Fabricated and high-pressure versions are available on request. - Can strainers be custom-fabricated?
Yes – we supply custom strainers with davit arms, hoists, special mesh sizes, exotic materials and non-standard flanges. - Do you deliver across Australia?
Yes – we ship to all major cities and regional areas with fast lead times.
