Midland Industries 9642FL10 Wye Strainer 10 Inch Flanged

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9642FL10 is a 10-inch nominal flanged wye strainer designed to remove debris and particulate from pipelines in commercial and industrial fluid systems. The body is constructed from ductile iron, providing high tensile strength and impact resistance suited for demanding service environments. The internal straining element is stainless steel mesh, offering corrosion resistance and durability under continuous flow conditions. At 237.38 pounds, this is a heavy-duty, full-size strainer intended for permanent installation by licensed plumbing or mechanical contractors working on large-diameter piping systems.

This strainer is used in commercial and industrial piping applications where protecting downstream equipment such as pumps, valves, meters, and heat exchangers from pipeline debris is critical. The flanged end connections allow for direct bolt-up installation into flanged piping systems, making it appropriate for water, wastewater, HVAC hydronic, and process fluid applications. The 10-inch nominal size targets larger-diameter main lines typical of institutional, industrial, and municipal system installations.

Key Features

• 10-inch nominal flanged connection for direct integration into large-diameter piping systems
• Ductile iron housing provides superior tensile strength and impact resistance compared to cast iron
• Stainless steel mesh straining element resists corrosion and maintains integrity under sustained flow
• Wye body configuration allows strainer basket removal and cleaning without full line shutdown in many installations
• Heavy-duty construction at 237.38 pounds suited for permanent, high-demand service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flanged wye strainer for 10-inch nominal ductile iron piping systems in commercial, industrial, and municipal plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumbing or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable local codes and ASME B31 piping standards. Isolate and depressurize the line completely before installation or any maintenance on the strainer. The strainer body length is 654 millimeters and the unit weighs 237.38 pounds, so appropriate rigging and lifting equipment is required during handling and placement. Verify flange bolt pattern, pressure rating, and gasket specification against the existing piping system before final assembly.
