Notes from the vendor documentation
Water treatment chemfeed skids commonly include Y-strainers; not a dedicated municipal case study.

Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Hayward YSH Y-Strainer size range | 1/2"-2" (DN15-50) | Hayward Flow Control — Chemfeed Product Solutions Guide |
| Hayward YSH standard screen perforation | 1/32" (800 micron) | Hayward Flow Control — Chemfeed Product Solutions Guide |

| Griffco Y-Strainer materials | 316SS, 316L SS, CPVC, PVC, Clear PVC | Griffco Valve — Chemical Feed System Accessories |
Griffco's own technical-information page states it does not make material-compatibility recommendations for specific customer applications — on a municipal Y-strainer quote, the material call (CPVC vs. 316SS vs. PVC) has to be confirmed against the actual process water by the specifier, not assumed from the catalog listing.
A strainer reads like a commodity part, but screen perforation and body material are two very different filtration targets — Hayward's 800-micron standard screen and Griffco's 20-to-325-mesh range aren't interchangeable, and picking the wrong one just moves the debris problem downstream instead of solving it.
Every claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Confirm current specifications with the manufacturer before final specification.
