Clear PVC Y strainers enable visual confirmation of flow rate and element clogging. Although abrasive particulate will gradually reduce clarity, you will still be able to confirm flow and notice excessive air. Hayward clear PVC Y strainers are offered with threaded, socket (solvent weld) and flanged connections for PVC piping up to 2". Socket and threaded versions are also available with true-union connections that simplify installation and allow replacement of the strainer body if it becomes damaged. The interior screen is perforated PVC and can also be supplied in 316 stainless steel with perforated or mesh-lined retention.
The strainer consists of three components: the body, the screen, and the screen chamber cover that incorporates a captured o-ring for a positive seal. The hex-shaped chamber cover is easily removed because only modest torque is required for sealing.
Most orders ship directly from the manufacturer in Clemmons, NC within 1–2 days, reducing lead time and shipping cost. Hayward clear PVC Y strainers carry a 2-year warranty.
