1. What is Brass Y Stainer Filter Valve
Brass Y stainer filter valve is an indispensable device on the pipeline of the conveying medium. It is usually installed at the inlet of a pressure reducing valve, a pressure relief valve, a fixed water level valve or other equipment to eliminate impurities in the flow to protect the valve and equipment normal use. When the fluid enters the mesh filter with a certain specification filter screen, its impurities are blocked, and the clean filtrate is discharged from the filter outlet. When cleaning is required, just take out the detachable filter screen and reload it after treatment, therefore, it is extremely convenient to use and maintain.

2. Principle of brass Y stainer filter valve
Brass Y-type filter valve is an indispensable filter device in the pipeline system for conveying fluid media.
Brass Y-type filter valve is usually installed at the inlet of pressure reducing valve, pressure relief valve, globe valve (such as the water inlet end of indoor heating pipeline) or other equipment to remove impurities in the medium to protect the valve and equipment normal use.
The brass Y stainer filter valve has advanced structure, low resistance and convenient sewage discharge.
Brass Y-type filter valve is mainly composed of connecting pipe, main pipe, filter screen, flange, flange cover and fasteners. When the liquid enters the filter basket through the main pipe, the solid impurity particles are blocked in the filter blue, and the clean fluid passes through the filter basket and is discharged from the outlet of the brass Y stainer filter valve. The reason why the filter screen is made into the shape of a cylindrical filter basket is to increase its strength, which is stronger than a single-layer screen, and the flange cover at the lower end of the y-shaped interface can be unscrewed to periodically remove the particles deposited in the filter basket.

3. Installation method of brass Y stainer filter valve
Before installing the brass Y stainer filter valve, carefully clean the threaded connection surfaces of all pipes, and use pipe sealant or Teflon tape (polytetrafluoroethylene) to the right amount. End threads are left untreated to avoid allowing sealant or Teflon tape to enter the piping system. Brass Y-Strainer Valves can be installed horizontally or vertically downwards.
4. Brass Y-type filter valve Intallation steps
1. Be sure to open the plastic packaging of the product within the clean room range before installation;
2. During the handling process, both hands should hold the outer frame of the brass Y stainer filter valve;
3. At least two people are required to install the larger brass Y stainer filter valve;
4. The middle part of the brass Y stainer filter valve cannot be supported by hand;
5. Do not touch the material inside the brass Y stainer filter valve;
6. Do not use a knife to cut open the outer packaging of the brass Y stainer filter valve;
7. Be careful not to twist the brass Y stainer filter valve when handling;
8. Protect the gasket of the brass Y stainer filter valve to avoid collision with other objects.
When installing 11/4" (DN32) or larger socket welded brass Y-filter valves or all D-Series brass Y-filter valves, it should be noted that the gaskets on these brass Y-filter valves are non-metallic It is easy to be damaged due to overheating. Therefore, the welding time should be shortened, and the brass Y stainer filter valve should be cooled after welding. If preheating is required before welding or continuous heating after welding, it is recommended to remove the gasket before heating.
5. The operation and maintenance of brass Y stainer filter valve
After the system has been working for a period of time (generally no more than one week), it should be cleaned to remove the impurities and dirt accumulated on the filter screen during the initial operation of the system. After that, regular cleaning is required. The number of cleanings depends on the working conditions. If the brass Y stainer filter valve does not have a drain plug, remove the filter screen stopper and filter screen when cleaning the brass Y stainer filter valve.
6. Brass Y stainer filter valve precautions
Before each maintenance and cleaning, the brass Y stainer filter valve should be isolated from the pressurized system. After cleaning, use a new gasket when reinstalling.
Before installing the brass Y stainer filter valve, carefully clean the threaded connection surfaces of all pipes, and use pipe sealant or Teflon tape (teflon) to the right amount. End threads are left untreated to avoid allowing sealant or Teflon tape to enter the piping system. Brass Y-Strainer Valves can be installed horizontally or vertically downwards. When installing 11/4" (DN32) or larger diameter socket-welded brass Y stainer filter valves or all, it should be noted that the gaskets of these brass Y stainer filter valves are non-metallic and are easily damaged by overheating. Therefore, the welding time should be shortened, and the brass Y stainer filter valve should be cooled after welding. If preheating is required before welding or continuous heating after welding, it is recommended to remove the gasket before heating.

7. How to clean brass Y stainer filter valve precautions
The brass Y stainer filter valve is a small device that removes a small amount of solid particles in the liquid, which can protect the normal operation of the equipment. When the fluid enters the filter cartridge with a certain size filter screen, its impurities are blocked, and the clean filtrate is made of yellow. The outlet of the brass Y-type filter valve is discharged.
