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

Legend 105-526 – 1-1/4" 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" 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.

Product Features

• Robust Cast Iron Body – Designed to withstand mechanical and hydraulic stress typical in building mechanical systems.
• Removable Cap with Gasket – Facilitates tool-assisted access to the strainer element for maintenance.
• Threaded Ends – NPT connections provide a secure, pressure-tight fit in compatible piping networks.
• 20 Mesh Stainless Steel Screen – Standard mesh density for capturing common debris particles while maintaining flow.
