Available in both 15mm and 22mm sizes, this durable brass Y-filter is designed to trap debris, limescale, and other particles that can accumulate over time and cause blockages or damage within your system.\n\nCentral heating systems, especially in hard water areas, are prone to the build-up of scale, rust, and sediment. If left unchecked, this debris can reduce efficiency, increase wear and tear on components, and lead to costly repairs. The V\u0026amp;G Y Strainer helps prevent that by capturing impurities before they travel further into the system—extending the life of pumps, valves, and boilers.\n\nInstallation is quick and straightforward thanks to its compression fittings, which don’t require heat, solder, or specialist tools. Once installed, the Y-shaped design includes a removable cap that gives you easy access to the internal filter mesh, so you can clean it out periodically to maintain peak performance.\n\nWhether you're a heating engineer or a homeowner looking to protect your plumbing system, this brass Y strainer is a reliable choice to keep things running clean and efficiently.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWhat does a Y strainer actually do?\u003c\/h4\u003e A Y strainer acts as a filter for your plumbing or heating system.
