Y‑type flange strainer IDMAR FAF 2500 DN 50, mesh 100

The IDMAR Y-type flange strainer FAF 2500 DN 50 with a 100-mesh screen is a flange-mounted inline device engineered to remove suspended particles from liquid or gas flows in industrial and municipal piping systems. Its Y-shaped body directs flow through a replaceable stainless steel screen to capture debris and protect downstream equipment such as pumps, control valves and instrumentation. Flanged connections simplify installation, inspection and maintenance without modifying existing pipe runs.

Advantages

The Y-type geometry provides a compact footprint while maintaining effective filtration and minimal pressure drop. A 100-mesh screen offers fine coarse-particle retention suitable for general-purpose protection of mechanical equipment. Flanged ends ensure a robust connection to standard DN 50 piping and enable quick access to the screen for cleaning or replacement. The construction materials and design are intended for repeated maintenance cycles and reliable operation in typical industrial environments.

Suitable for

• Protection of pumps and rotary equipment from debris in water and non-corrosive liquid systems
• Pre-filtration ahead of control valves and meters in municipal and industrial pipelines
• Removal of suspended solids in cooling circuits and HVAC systems
• General-purpose coarse filtration in process lines that allow flange-mounted strainers

Key specifications

• Connection type: flange-mounted for DN 50 pipe size
• Strainer form: Y-type inline body
• Screen aperture: 100 mesh (stainless steel woven screen)
• Flow direction: through the body into the removable screen chamber
• Maintenance: removable screen element accessible via cover/plug
• Typical compatibility: liquid and gas media within the material and pressure limits of the body

How to use

Install the Y-type flange strainer in the pipeline with the leg of the Y oriented so the screen chamber can be accessed for inspection and cleaning. Ensure flange faces and gaskets match the DN 50 flange standards of the system and torque bolts to the recommended values for the application. Periodically isolate the strainer from the line pressure, remove the cover or blowdown plug, and extract the screen for cleaning or replacement. Reassemble the cover with a proper gasket and restore system pressure following leak checks.

Usage recommendations

Choose a 100-mesh strainer for applications requiring removal of fine to medium-sized particles; for heavier debris or abrasive solids, consider coarser mesh or a basket-type solution. Schedule inspections according to operating hours and measured pressure drop across the strainer to prevent excessive flow restriction. Confirm material compatibility with the process medium and verify flange rating matches system pressure class before installation.
