Hayward YS00100S Clear PVC Y-Strainer - 1 inch Socket

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward YS00100S Clear PVC Y-Strainer is installed in-line on pool plumbing to capture debris before it reaches pumps, heaters, or chemical feed equipment. It is typically used on pressure side applications where fine debris needs to be intercepted without restricting flow.

Why This Part Matters
Debris entering heaters, salt cells, or automation valves can cause internal damage and flow restrictions. A properly installed Y-strainer protects downstream components and reduces service calls related to clogged heat exchangers or stuck valves. If the strainer body cracks or the screen is missing, system protection is compromised.
