Strainer Cast Iron Flanged Strainer Style TF 125

This industrial Y-strainer is a native Revit family featuring a cast iron body and flanged connections for mechanical piping systems. The component is a standard Y-pattern strainer designed for industrial fluid handling applications. It features a robust cast iron construction with a distinct black finish. The body incorporates a central flow chamber with a side-mounted access port for internal screen maintenance. Both ends are terminated with drilled flanges for secure mechanical fastening to pipe runs. The exterior casting includes moulded directional flow indicators and pressure rating markings. The geometry is clean and functional, suitable for detailed mechanical coordination in complex building services models where valve and accessory scheduling is required.

The download is a 420 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family is typically used as a pipe accessory. It should be placed directly into pipe runs where the system requires filtration to protect downstream equipment. Users can map the connector points to existing piping systems, allowing the model to maintain connectivity for flow calculations. It is advisable to load this into a project template or a specific MEP library, ensuring that the pipe diameter parameters are correctly matched to the host system during the insertion process.

This mechanical component is essential for engineers working on HVAC, water distribution, and process piping systems. It is commonly specified in mechanical rooms, plant rooms, and large-scale commercial or industrial developments. Architects and MEP designers use these assets during the technical design and coordination stages to ensure adequate space for maintenance access around critical pipe fittings.
