Watts 220075 1 Inch Cast Iron Wye Strainer 400 Psi

Product Description

The WATTS 220075 is a wye pattern pipe strainer designed to remove dirt, rust, scale, and debris from piping systems carrying water, oil, or gas. Built with a cast iron body and threaded IPS connections, this 1-inch strainer fits inline to protect downstream components such as valves, meters, pumps, and control equipment. The machined seat ensures the mesh screen is self-aligning for a reliable, consistent fit during installation and service. Rated to 400 psi, it is suited for demanding liquid and steam applications where system cleanliness is critical. Licensed plumbing and pipefitting contractors are the primary installers of this type of inline strainer.

The 220075 is used in residential and commercial piping systems handling water, oil, or gas. Its wye configuration allows the strainer basket to be accessed and cleaned without removing the body from the line, making it a practical choice for mechanical rooms, boiler systems, and process piping where regular maintenance access is needed. The tapped retainer cap provides a convenient port for blowdown or inspection. Steam and liquid service applications are both supported.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before installing or servicing the strainer. Orient the wye body so the screen leg points downward to allow debris to collect by gravity and to facilitate drainage during cleaning. Do not overtighten threaded connections; use appropriate thread sealant compatible with the service fluid.
