If you haven't yet heard of Metraflex's new LPD Y-Strainer, it's probably time for you to get in the know. This incredibly innovative new Y-strainer is on the short list of finalists for the Consulting-Specifying Engineer Magazine Product of the Year. (If you subscribe to the magazine, [you can vote until June 30!](http://www.csemag.com/events-and-awards/product-of-the-year/2017/2017-product-of-the-year-finalists/plumbing-water-management.html))

You may be asking yourself why an age-old product like the Y-strainer is on the Product of the Year list. Well, it's because Metraflex has re-engineered it to create significantly lower pressure drops resulting in big energy savings dollars. But don't take my word for it. Try their [energy savings calculator.](http://www.metraflex.com/lpd-calculator/)

We've [blogged about the LPD Y-Strainer before](https://blogs.heattransfersales.com/blog/metraflex_y_strainer-0) because it's a pretty incredible easy-to-retrofit product. If you haven't checked into it yet, you should. Check out the short video from Metraflex below.
