The Altecnic 28mm CxC Y Strainer is a highly efficient filtration component designed to protect sensitive control valves, pumps and meters across both commercial and domestic hydraulic systems. Constructed with a heavy-duty brass body and a durable stainless steel internal filter, this robust fitting actively captures circulating debris and particulate matter before they can compromise critical infrastructure. The precision-engineered Y pattern configuration utilises a generously proportioned screen which maximises the internal catchment area, effectively extending the operational periods between necessary maintenance cleans. This structural design ensures minimal disruption to the system flow rate while maintaining strict protective capabilities across continuous duty cycles.

Measuring 118mm in length and weighing just 0.516kg, the compact strainer integrates seamlessly into standard 28mm copper pipework via reliable compression-to-compression connections. The fitting is fully WRAS approved, making it highly suitable for installation within direct potable water applications alongside standard heating circuits. Installers frequently specify this unit to maintain long-term system efficiency and prevent premature component failure caused by limescale, rust or installation debris. The straightforward access port allows engineers to isolate and remove the stainless steel screen for rapid cleaning without dismantling the surrounding pipework infrastructure.

Q: What materials are used in the construction of this component?
A: The outer body is manufactured from brass while the internal filtration screen utilises stainless steel.

Q: Is this strainer suitable for use in drinking water systems?
A: Yes, the component is fully WRAS approved for safe integration into potable water supplies.

Q: How does the installer access the internal screen for maintenance?
