Hattersley Fig. 907 Bronze Y-Type Strainer PN25

Description

Y-type bronze strainer with pressure-drop test points

The Hattersley Fig. 907 is a bronze Y-type strainer rated PN25. Its job is to remove foreign matter from piping systems before it reaches pumps, control valves, meters and heat exchangers. A perforated stainless steel screen with 0.75 mm diameter holes catches the debris, and the data sheet states that the design gives low flow resistance. The strainer is WRAS approved for use on hot and cold water systems up to 85 C, according to the maker.

A feature that sets the 907 apart is that it is supplied with two Fig. 631 test points, fitted to the body, so that the pressure drop across the strainer can be measured in service. A rising pressure drop is the standard indicator that the screen needs cleaning.

Key features

  • Perforated stainless steel (type 304) screen, 0.75 mm holes
  • WRAS approved for hot and cold water systems up to 85 C
  • Two Fig. 631 test points to measure pressure drop

  • Taper threaded to BS EN 10226-2 (UK) or ANSI B1.20.1 (US)

Dimension H is the withdraw distance, the clearance needed to remove the screen, so leave at least that much space below the cap when planning pipe routes.

Selection and ordering guide

Select by line size. A strainer is normally the same size as the line; reducing the size raises velocity and pressure drop. The 0.75 mm perforation is fine, so it is suited to protecting small control valves and heat-exchanger plates, but fine screens clog sooner on dirty systems, which makes the supplied test points useful. Hattersley lists a separate bronze Y-type strainer, Fig. 807, with a PN32 rating, for higher pressure duty. Note the pressure rating of 25 bar at up to 100 C, falling to 21.8 bar at 120 C.

Installation and maintenance

General practice: fit the strainer with flow in the direction of the arrow on the body and the cap pointing downwards or at an angle so that the screen can be withdrawn. Leave the withdrawal clearance H. Connect a differential pressure gauge to the two test points to read pressure drop, and clean the screen when the reading rises above the value set at commissioning; the sheet does not state a cleaning limit. Shut off and relieve pressure before opening the cap.

Applications

Strainers are standard protection ahead of pumps, balancing valves and meters in chilled water, heating and domestic hot water systems. In Gulf building services they are installed on pump suctions in district cooling and plant rooms where scale and construction debris collect after commissioning.

Understanding the strainer ratings and fluid limits

The data sheet gives a temperature-dependent rating table: 25 bar from -10 to 100 C, 23.4 bar at 110 C and 21.8 bar at 120 C. The WRAS approval is stated separately and only for hot and cold water up to 85 C, so a system at 110 C may use the pressure rating but not the water-fittings approval. The sheet also warns that the strainer is not suitable for group 1 gases, group 2 gases or unstable fluids under the Pressure Equipment Directive, which limits it to liquids of the appropriate group.

The materials are specified by European standard: bronze to BS EN 1982 CC491K, stainless steel strainer mesh type 304 and a Klingersil C4430 gasket on the cap. These are the names to quote when a project material approval list is checked.

Specification checklist before ordering

Confirm the size and thread (BS EN 10226-2 for the UK pattern or ANSI B1.20.1 for the US pattern), the working pressure of 25 bar from -10 to 100 C, the fluid and the screen opening. The sheet states that the strainer is not suitable for group 1 or group 2 gases or unstable fluids, so confirm the medium. The 0.75 mm perforated screen suits general water duty; finer screens must be checked with the manufacturer.

Using the test points

The two Fig. 631 test points allow a differential pressure gauge to be connected across the strainer. Record the clean pressure drop at commissioning, and clean the screen when the reading rises noticeably. Fit isolation valves each side so that the cap can be removed without draining the system.

About brand

Hattersley is a British valve brand whose origins date back to 1897, when 20-year-old Richard Hattersley started a small tool-making business in Halifax. The business later moved to Ormskirk, became a public company in 1936 and merged with Peglers in 1968 to form Pegler-Hattersley. In 2004 Crane Limited bought the Hattersley valve business, and the brand is now part of Crane Building Services & Utilities.
