1-1/4 inch Mesh Wye Strainer, Black Cast Iron

Legend 105-526 – 1-1/4 inch Cast Iron Y-Strainer for Debris Control

The Legend Valve 105-526 Y-Strainer is engineered for effective debris separation in fluid systems where solid contaminants pose a risk to downstream equipment. Constructed from black cast iron, this 1-1/4 inch Y-pattern strainer is designed for threaded piping systems operating under moderate pressure and temperature conditions.

Its 20 mesh stainless steel screen captures particulates to protect valves, regulators, and other sensitive system components. The gasketed cap allows for straightforward maintenance access, enabling quick inspection or cleaning without removing the entire assembly from the line. Ideal for commercial and light industrial applications where durability and serviceability are priorities.
