UPLYKKE Y Strainer 120 Mesh 1-1/2 NPT Thread for Water Filtration

Description

Product Overview

The UPLYKKE Irrigation Y Strainer is engineered to meet the demanding needs of both agricultural and industrial water management. Constructed from high‑grade polypropylene, the strainer offers exceptional chemical resistance and durability, ensuring a long service life even in harsh environments. Its 120 mesh filtration area, equivalent to 300 cm², captures fine particles while maintaining a robust flow capacity of up to 88 GPM (approximately 20 m³/h). The 1‑1/2 inch NPT male thread provides a secure, leak‑free connection to standard piping, simplifying installation and reducing the risk of accidental disassembly.

Designed with a stacked filter element, the strainer maximizes dirt‑holding capacity without sacrificing performance. The internal hydraulic pressure inspection port allows for real‑time monitoring of system pressure, enabling proactive maintenance and preventing unexpected downtime. With a compact package size of 12.83 × 8.19 × 4.76 inches and a weight of just 2.62 lb, the unit is easy to handle, transport, and install in confined spaces.

Usage

This Y Strainer excels in a wide range of water filtration scenarios. In agricultural settings, it protects irrigation pumps and drip‑line emitters from sediment, extending equipment lifespan and improving water distribution uniformity. Gardeners benefit from its ability to filter out debris that could clog sprinklers or hose nozzles, ensuring consistent watering performance. In industrial applications, the strainer is ideal for circulating water systems, cooling towers, and process water loops where particulate contamination can impair machinery and reduce efficiency.

Because of its versatile NPT connection, the strainer can be integrated into existing pipework with minimal modifications. It is suitable for both fresh and slightly turbid water sources, making it a reliable choice for farms, landscaping firms, municipal water treatment facilities, and manufacturing plants that require dependable filtration without compromising flow rates.
