Medium-Pressure Bronze and Brass Y-Strainers
- Max. Pressure: See Table
- Max. Steam Pressure:
Brass: Not Rated
Bronze: 235 psi @ 400° F - Temp. Range:
Brass: 35° to 350° F
Bronze: -20° to 400° F
Strainers catch debris in your pipeline, preventing damage to valves, pumps, nozzles, and other sensitive equipment. They are designed for medium-pressure applications. Strainers have a threaded drain with a plug that provides access to the screen without disconnecting your line. They have good corrosion resistance.
Strainers with socket-connect tube connections are for use with copper tubing; to connect, insert tubing into the socket and weld to create a permanent, leak-tight connection. Copper tube size is the accepted designation of the copper tubing industry, not the actual OD.
