Tecofi Y-strainers
A Y-strainer keeps debris on a screen upstream of a valve, pump or meter to protect the equipment behind it; the screen can be removed for cleaning through the cap. Tecofi lists F1142A brass, F2143W bronze, F6169/F6769 316 stainless with threads, F4240B-EP/F4240C-EA ductile iron and F6246-PF stainless with flanges; stainless screens, with mesh size depending on DN.
| Model | Body material | Connection | Working pressure | Screen |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F1142A | CW617N brass | BSP female | 16 bar | 304 stainless |
| F2143W | Bronze | BSP female | 20 bar (≤ 120°C); 16 bar (> 120°C) | 304 stainless; 0.3 mm mesh (DN15-25), 0.5 mm (DN32-50) |
| F6169 / F6769 | 316 stainless | BSP / NPT | 40 bar | 316 stainless, 1 mm mesh |
| F4240B-EP / F4240C-EA | Ductile iron EN-GJS-500-7 | PN10/16 flanged | 16 bar | 316 stainless |
| F6246-PF | CF8M stainless | PN16 flanged | 16 bar | CF8M; 1 mm mesh (DN15-50), 2 mm (DN65-200) |
Brands listed here: Tecofi. CAD sends datasheets, size tables and CO/CQ and advises on mesh size for the equipment to be protected.

How do you choose the mesh size?
A finer screen keeps back smaller particles but clogs sooner and adds pressure loss; choose by what the downstream equipment needs. Send the DN, flow and equipment type and CAD will advise.
How is a Y-strainer installed?
Fit it in the direction of the arrow on the body with the screen cap pointing down or sideways so the screen is easy to pull and clean; put isolating valves on both sides so the system need not be stopped.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Y-strainer used for?
A Y-strainer traps dirt and debris in its screen upstream of a valve, pump or meter to protect the equipment behind it. The screen can be removed for cleaning through the cap, so the strainer body does not have to come out of the pipeline.
Which Y-strainer models does Tecofi offer?
Tecofi offers the brass F1142A, the bronze F2143W and the 316 stainless steel F6169/F6769 with threaded ends, plus the ductile iron F4240B-EP/F4240C-EA and the stainless steel F6246-PF with flanged ends. The screens are stainless steel. Choose the body material by medium and pressure and the connection by your pipework; CAD engineers advise on request.
What mesh sizes and pressure ratings do Tecofi Y-strainers have?
Per the datasheets, the F2143W has a 0.3 mm mesh (DN15-25) or 0.5 mm (DN32-50) and is rated 20 bar. The F6169/F6769 have a 1 mm mesh and are rated 40 bar. The F6246-PF has a 1 mm mesh (DN15-50) or 2 mm (DN65-200) and is rated 16 bar.
How do I get a quote for a genuine Tecofi Y-strainer?
CAD supplies genuine Tecofi Y-strainers and sends the datasheet, dimension table and CO/CQ. Send the DN, pressure, medium, connection type and the equipment to protect via the contact page; CAD advises on the mesh size and quotes within 24 working hours.
