Value Collection 9714000510JP Brass Y-strainer 1/4 in Female Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 9714000510JP is a forged brass Y-strainer designed for inline filtration of liquids and steam in small-diameter piping systems. Constructed from lead-free brass, it features 1/4 inch female NPT connections on both ends and a 20-mesh strainer screen that traps particulate before it reaches downstream valves, pumps, and equipment. Rated at 600 psi WOG and 150 psi WSP, this strainer handles a broad range of service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work on water, oil, and gas lines.

This Y-strainer is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and process piping applications where 1/4 inch NPT threaded connections are required. Its compact body dimensions make it practical for tight installations in mechanical rooms, equipment rooms, or underneath fixtures where space is limited. The female NPT threads on both ends allow direct inline threading without additional adapters in most standard piping configurations.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per local plumbing code requirements. Orient the Y body so the strainer leg is accessible for future cleaning or screen replacement.
