Product details

Threaded Stainless Steel Y-Strainer.🔍 Technical Markings Breakdown40 MM: Indicates the nominal pipeline size (40 millimeters, which is equivalent to 1-1/2 inches).CF8: Confirms the body is cast from 304 Stainless Steel, providing strong general-purpose protection against corrosion, rust, and water scaling.Flow Arrow (🡪): Cast on the lower section near the bottom hex end, indicating the direction the fluid must travel through the valve body.AT216: A manufacturer heat number or batch code used for quality tracking and material certification.⚙️ How It WorksConnection Style: Features female threaded ends (typically BSP or NPT) on both sides to screw directly onto male pipe threads, making it more compact than the flanged Y-strainer seen previously.Filtration Purpose: Fluid enters from the bottom, flows up through an internal perforated mesh screen inside the diagonal leg, and exits out the top. The screen traps dirt, scale, and solid particles to keep downstream valves or pumps from clogging.Cleaning: The hex cap at the top left of the diagonal leg can be unscrewed to easily pull out and clean the internal mesh filter element.💡 Installation RequirementsOrientation: It must be installed with the diagonal leg pointing downward in horizontal lines.Flow Direction: Ensure the pipeline fluid travels exactly in the direction of the cast arrow.If you are replacing a component, let me know:What thread type do you need to match (e.g., NPT for Americas or BSP for Europe/Asia)?What fluid or media is flowing through your system?Are you dealing with high chemical acidity, or is this for a standard water/oil utility line?I can help you double-check if this CF8 (304) model is sufficient or if you need to upgrade to CF8M (316) stainless steel!
