Watts Strainers Alternative
A drop-in strainers equivalent to Watts — API 6D / ASME B16.34 certified, fully documented, quoted in 24 hours. Cross-reference, specifications and why engineers switch, below.
Is there an alternative to Watts strainers?
Yes. Vajra Industrial Solutions manufactures and supplies strainers to the same standards and service envelope as Watts (Water regulation, backflow prevention, pressure reducing valves, and HVAC/plumbing control valves). We match the pressure class, body and trim material, end connection and standard, and deliver with EN 10204 3.1 certification — typically at a better lead time and total cost. Share the Watts model or datasheet and our engineers confirm the exact equivalent within 24 hours.
Watts → Vajra Cross-Reference
| Watts Series | Type | Vajra Equivalent | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Watts Series 777 Y-Strainer | Y-Strainer | Y-Strainer - Cast Iron / SS - Flanged / Threaded | PN 16/25, DN 15–DN 300, 40/100 mesh SS screen |
Why engineers switch from Watts
- Watts import pricing in India and the Gulf is significantly higher than locally certified equivalent valves
- HVAC and MEP contractors in India and the Middle East seek EN 12516 or BS-equivalent valves at competitive cost
- Long import lead times (6–14 weeks) for speciality PRVs and backflow preventers
- Municipal water projects requiring IS-certified or equivalent pressure-reducing valves at competitive tender prices
The Vajra advantage
- Pressure reducing valves and safety relief valves certified to ASME Sec. VIII and EN 12516 standards
- Y-strainers and basket strainers from DN 15 to DN 600 in cast iron, SS 316, and duplex
- Ball valves and butterfly valves for HVAC - full range ex-stock in Vadodara
- ISO 9001:2015 manufacturing with hydrostatic test certificates, available for domestic and export supply
- Competitive pricing for MEP and HVAC projects - typically 30–50% lower landed cost vs. Watts imported products
Vajra Strainers
Y-type, basket, and duplex strainers for protecting downstream equipment from debris.
