Ipex 53235 Pvc Tru-union Y-strainer 1 Inch 35 Mesh

Product Description

The IPEX 53235 is a 1-inch Tru-Union clear PVC Y-strainer designed for inline filtration in fluid handling systems. The clear body allows visual inspection of the strainer basket without shutting down the line. It accepts both socket and female pipe thread (FPT) end connections, giving installers flexibility during assembly. The 35-mesh stainless steel basket with 1/32-inch perforations captures particulate debris before it reaches valves, pumps, and other downstream components. FPM seals provide chemical resistance suitable for a range of treated water and mild chemical service applications. The Tru-Union design enables in-line basket removal without cutting pipe.

This Y-strainer is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa circulation systems, irrigation lines, and chemical feed systems where clear PVC piping is already in use. The 1-inch end connections fit standard Schedule 40 PVC socket and threaded fittings. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pool service professionals on cold- or ambient-temperature fluid lines where inline straining is required to protect downstream equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pool service technician. Shut off flow and relieve system pressure before removing the basket or disassembling the union ends. Solvent-cement socket connections must follow manufacturer cure time guidelines before pressurizing the line. Do not exceed the pressure or temperature ratings of the PVC body; consult applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC for installation requirements.
