Wattstopper 98268643190 Wye Strainer 2 Inch Cast Iron

Product Description

The WATTSTOPPER 98268643190 is a 2-inch cast iron threaded wye strainer designed to remove debris and particulate from pipeline flow before it reaches valves, meters, pumps, and other sensitive system components. The Y-pattern body allows in-line installation with minimal pressure drop while the strainer screen catches scale, sediment, and other solids. This type of strainer is a standard component in hydronic heating systems, chilled water loops, and general plumbing distribution piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this fitting class.

This wye strainer is sized at 2 inches with threaded end connections, making it compatible with standard threaded pipe installations in residential and light commercial hydronic and plumbing systems. It is suited for use on supply-side piping runs where protecting downstream equipment from particulate contamination is required. The cast iron body construction makes it appropriate for closed-loop water systems operating within standard service pressure and temperature ranges.

Key Features

• 2-inch pipe size with threaded connections for straightforward in-line installation
• Cast iron body construction for durability in closed-loop and general plumbing service
• Y-pattern design allows in-line straining with minimal flow restriction
• Protects downstream valves, meters, and equipment from sediment and debris
• Threaded end connections compatible with standard NPT piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation wye strainer for 2-inch threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial hydronic heating, chilled water, and general plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the pipeline before installation and verify flow direction markings on the body are aligned with system flow direction. Use appropriate thread sealant or tape on all threaded connections and inspect the strainer screen after initial system startup to clear any construction debris captured during commissioning.
