Y strainers on one pipe steam system

in THE MAIN WALL
I made a "menorah" of 4 Gorton #1s. I would like to put a y strainer between the vent riser from the main and the "menorah." Does it make a difference if the clean out plug faces up or down? I was wondering if by facing down it would fill with condensate. If it fills with condensate would you just have to open the clean out plug once a week or is there something better than a y strainer to protect your vents?

Thanks

    I did not make this post. I do not have a steam system, so I would have very little use for a Gordon valve.

    Likewise, what would this post have to do with Y strainers?

    I wonder what happened.

    Yeah, when I read the original post I was wondering why JDB was asking about his steam system. It must have been a glitch in the changeover.

    Massive job, moving the Wall. 29 GB of words and pictures. Sorry for the few misplacements.
    Retired and loving it.

    No hard feelings. I have dealt with computer systems in the past, and thing do not surprise me very often anymore.
