African Valve is an Awwa Y Strainer Suppliers in Zambia, providing strainers for water distribution networks, pumping stations and industrial water projects in Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa.
Sediment, rust particles and construction debris can enter water pipelines during installation or routine operation. If these particles reach pumps, meters or control valves, they can cause excessive wear, obstruct small passages and interfere with normal operation. An AWWA Y Strainer helps prevent these problems by collecting solid particles before they reach downstream equipment.
The strainer has a Y-shaped body containing a removable perforated or mesh screen. Water passes through the screen while larger particles are retained inside the collection chamber. The screen can be accessed through the cover for periodic cleaning.
