Xylem 342500 Valve and Strainer Assembly

Product Description

The XYLEM 342500 is a combined valve and strainer assembly designed for hydronic heating systems, boilers, and hot water equipment commonly found in residential, commercial, and industrial HVAC applications. By integrating both a shutoff valve and a debris-filtering strainer into a single unit, the assembly reduces the number of inline components required and simplifies system piping. It controls fluid flow while capturing particulate matter before it can reach sensitive downstream components such as zone valves, circulators, or heat exchangers. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers install this assembly during new construction and retrofit projects where space savings and system protection are priorities.

The 342500 is suited for hydronic heating applications including hot water boiler systems and water heater supply lines. Its dual-function design is particularly useful in mechanical rooms where inline component count and pipe run length need to be minimized. The assembly is appropriate for systems serving residential, commercial, and light industrial installations where reliable fluid control and straining are required in a compact form factor.

Key Features

• Integrated valve and strainer in a single assembly reduces inline component count
• Filters fluid flow to protect downstream components from debris and particulate damage
• Compact design suited for space-constrained mechanical rooms and boiler rooms
• Appropriate for residential, commercial, and industrial hydronic HVAC systems
• Weighs 3.2 pounds for straightforward handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement valve and strainer assembly for hydronic heating systems including boilers and hot water equipment where a combined valve-strainer component is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off system water supply and depressurize the line before removing any existing components. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements when working on boiler system piping. Ensure all connections are leak-tested after installation before returning the system to service.
