Abstract: The universal two-parameter ${mathcalW}_{infty}$-algebra is a classifying object for vertex algebras of type $mathcalW(2,3,dots,N)$ for some $N$. Gaiotto and Rapv{c}'ak recently introduced a large family of such vertex algebras called $Y$-algebras, which includes many known examples such as the principal $mathcalW$-algebras of type $A$. These algebras admit an action of $mathbb{Z}_2$, and in this paper we study the structure of their orbifolds. Aside from the extremal cases of either the Virasoro algebra or the ${mathcalW}_3$-algebra, we show that these orbifolds are generated by a single field in conformal weight $4$, and we give strong finite generating sets.
