A 2-inch brass Y strainer with solder connections, made from bronze, is an essential component in plumbing and fluid system applications. Its primary function is to protect equipment by filtering out sediment and debris from the flow, ensuring clean and uninterrupted service.

Product Specifications:

• Material: Brass (often with a bronze casting for added durability)
• Connection Type: Solder (also known as sweat) connection
• Size: 2 inches (corresponding to the pipe diameter it fits)
• Filter Element: Typically a stainless steel screen
• Pressure Ratings: Suitable for moderate to high pressure
• Orientation: Y-shaped body that allows for the removal and cleaning of the strainer without disassembling the entire system

Key Features:

• Durability: Brass and bronze construction ensures resistance to corrosion and a long service life.
• Ease of Maintenance: Features a removable cap or plug that allows easy access to the strainer screen for cleaning and replacement.
• Efficiency: Designed to efficiently remove particles and debris without significantly reducing flow rate.

Applications:

• HVAC Systems: Used in heating and cooling systems to protect valves, pumps, and other equipment from particulate matter.
• Water Supply: Commonly installed in both residential and commercial water systems to filter out sediment that could clog or damage taps, valves, and other fixtures.
• Industrial Fluid Handling: Used in various industrial applications where it is critical to ensure the purity of fluids and protect the integrity of mechanical systems.

Installation Tips:

• Preparation: Ensure that the pipes where the Y strainer will be installed are properly prepared and cleaned. The diameter of the pipes should match the strainer size.
• Soldering: Installation involves soldering, which requires skill and the proper tools (torch, solder, flux). Ensure a good seal to prevent leaks.
• Orientation: Install the Y strainer in the correct orientation with the “leg” of the Y pointing downward, which allows the screen to collect debris effectively.
