Nibco NL2QB06 T-221-B Wye Strainer 1/2 in Fnpt Bronze

Product Description

The NIBCO NL2QB06 is a T-221-B series wye strainer designed for use in commercial, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. It features a bronze body rated at 125 PSI and includes a 20 mesh stainless steel wire screen with a solid cap plug for cleanout access. The FNPT (female national pipe thread) connection in 1/2 inch nominal size allows straightforward installation into threaded piping systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this strainer inline to protect downstream valves, pumps, and equipment from debris and particulate in the line. Domestically manufactured, it carries a 5-year limited warranty.

This wye strainer is suited for commercial plumbing, mechanical rooms, and light industrial process piping where a compact, threaded inline strainer is required. The 1/2 inch FNPT configuration fits standard threaded pipe runs and is commonly installed upstream of control valves, steam traps, and pressure regulators in both hot and cold water service as well as compatible fluid systems. Its bronze construction offers corrosion resistance appropriate for potable and non-potable water applications in typical building mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the line before installing or servicing this strainer. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines before making up connections. Orient the strainer so the screen leg points downward to allow collected debris to settle away from the flow path and facilitate cleanout.
