Nibco NJ2QB0C Y-strainer 1-1/2 in Solder Bronze

Product Description

The NIBCO NJ2QB0C is a bronze wye strainer in the S-221-B series, designed to remove debris and particulate from piping systems in commercial, mechanical, and industrial applications. The body is constructed from bronze rated at 125 PSI, and the strainer element is a 20 mesh stainless steel wire screen with a solid cap. The 1-1/2 inch nominal size connects via solder joint. This unit is domestically manufactured and intended for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters on fluid-handling systems where inline straining is required to protect downstream equipment such as valves, pumps, and meters.

The NJ2QB0C is suited for commercial and industrial piping systems where a wye-pattern strainer is specified. Its solder connection makes it appropriate for copper tubing installations in mechanical rooms, HVAC hydronic loops, process piping, and similar applications where a low-profile, serviceable strainer is needed. The solid blowdown cap allows screen removal and cleaning without cutting out the fitting.

Key Features

• Domestically manufactured — 5-year limited warranty

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wye strainer for 1-1/2 inch copper solder-joint piping systems in commercial, mechanical, and industrial installations per NIBCO S-221-B series specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Isolate and depressurize the system and allow all piping to cool fully before soldering or servicing. Orient the strainer so the screen pocket faces downward to allow debris collection and to facilitate gravity drainage during cleaning. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of 125 PSI for this assembly.
