UPLYKKE Y Strainer Disc Filter 120 Mesh NPT Male Thread 2″ 110 GPM

Description

Product Overview

The UPLYKKE Y Strainer is engineered with a high‑precision 120‑mesh polypropylene disc that captures fine particles while allowing a robust flow of up to 110 GPM. Constructed from durable polypropylene, the filter resists corrosion, chemical exposure, and UV degradation, ensuring a long service life even in harsh environments. Its compact 2‑inch diameter and 4‑pound weight make it easy to handle during installation and maintenance, while the NPT male thread provides a secure, leak‑free connection to standard piping.

The internal design features a stacked filter arrangement that maximizes filtration area to 525 cm², delivering high dirt‑holding capacity and consistent pressure drop across the screen. This stacked configuration also simplifies cleaning; the disc can be removed, rinsed, and re‑installed without the need for specialized tools. The unit includes a preset hydraulic pressure inspection port, allowing technicians to monitor system performance and detect blockages before they affect downstream equipment.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the NPT male thread, which matches common industrial and agricultural fittings. The thread is precision‑machined to ANSI standards, guaranteeing a tight seal that prevents leaks under high‑pressure conditions. The Y‑shaped flow path reduces turbulence, maintaining steady water velocity and minimizing wear on the filter media. This design also supports a wide range of flow rates, from low‑volume garden irrigation to high‑capacity industrial circulation loops.

Performance testing confirms that the Y Strainer can sustain continuous operation at its rated 110 GPM flow without significant pressure loss, even when handling particulate loads typical of agricultural runoff or cooling‑tower water. The polypropylene screen’s 120‑mesh rating balances fine filtration with low resistance, ensuring that water quality is protected while system efficiency remains high. The unit’s robust construction and easy‑service features make it a reliable choice for demanding filtration applications.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this Y Strainer excels in agricultural irrigation systems where debris such as sand, silt, and organic matter can clog downstream emitters. By placing the filter upstream of drip lines or sprinklers, growers can protect costly equipment and maintain uniform water distribution across fields. The filter’s compact size also allows it to be installed in confined spaces, such as pump houses or valve boxes, without sacrificing performance.

In industrial settings, the Y Strainer is ideal for circulating water loops in cooling towers, heat exchangers, and process water recirculation. Its ability to handle high flow rates while trapping fine particles helps prevent fouling of heat exchange surfaces, reducing maintenance intervals and extending equipment lifespan. The filter’s durable polypropylene construction withstands the elevated temperatures and chemical additives commonly found in industrial water treatment processes.

FAQ

What size pipe does the Y Strainer connect to?

The filter features a standard 2‑inch NPT male thread, which is compatible with most 2‑inch pipe sizes and fittings commonly used in irrigation and industrial water systems.

Can the filter be cleaned without disassembly?

While the filter can be rinsed in place for light debris, optimal cleaning performance is achieved by removing the disc, flushing it with clean water, and re‑installing it. This process restores full filtration efficiency.

What is the maximum operating pressure?

The Y Strainer is rated for up to 150 psi (10 bar) operating pressure, making it suitable for a wide range of low‑ to medium‑pressure water applications.

Is the filter suitable for chemical‑resistant applications?

Yes, the polypropylene construction offers excellent resistance to many chemicals, including mild acids and alkalis, allowing the filter to be used in water treatment processes that involve chemical additives.

How often should the filter be inspected?

We recommend inspecting the filter at least once per month in high‑debris environments, or quarterly for typical residential or light‑industrial use, to ensure continued performance and to prevent unexpected blockages.
