The Y-shaped body positions the stainless steel mesh filter element at an angle to the flow, giving a \u003cstrong\u003elarge effective filter area in a short overall body length\u003c\/strong\u003e. The mesh can be \u003cstrong\u003eremoved and cleaned without disconnecting the strainer from the pipework\u003c\/strong\u003e — remove the end plug, withdraw the mesh basket, rinse and refit. Solid brass construction with a stainless steel mesh insert offers long service life in both heating (closed system) and cold water (open\/mains) applications. Available as \u003cstrong\u003e15mm\u003c\/strong\u003e (for domestic hot and cold supply lines, zone valve inlets, boiler filling connections) and \u003cstrong\u003e22mm\u003c\/strong\u003e (for main heating flow and return, pump inlets, manifold connections).\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"border-left:4px solid #f59e0b;background:#fff8e1;padding:10px 16px;margin-bottom:22px;border-radius:0 6px 6px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"color:#b45309;\"\u003e⚡ 15mm vs 22mm — When to use each\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003e15mm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domestic cold water supplies, filling loops, zone valve inlets, condensate connections, boiler mains cold feed, individual appliance supplies where debris protection is needed before a sensitive valve or component.\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003e22mm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Main heating flow and return pipework, pump inlets, manifold feeds, larger cold water mains, any 22mm supply serving multiple outlets where a single strainer protects downstream components.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"background:#008377CF;color:#fff;font-weight:600;font-size:15px;padding:10px 16px;border-radius:6px 6px 0 0;\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(auto-fill,minmax(255px,1fr));gap:12px;background:#e6f4f3;padding:14px;border-radius:0 0 6px 6px;margin-bottom:22px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"background:#f0faf9;border:1px solid #c8e6e3;border-radius:6px;padding:13px;\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-weight:700;color:#008377CF;margin-bottom:5px;\"\u003e✔ Serviceable Without Removal\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eThe Y-pattern design puts the mesh element in the angled leg of the Y — \u003cstrong\u003ethe end plug unscrews and the mesh basket slides out for cleaning without removing the strainer body from the pipework\u003c\/strong\u003e. Provided isolation valves are fitted upstream and downstream (or the system is drained), the strainer can be cleaned in situ in minutes.
