Conbraco 59-004-01 Strainer

The Conbraco 59-004-01 Strainer is a heavy-pattern 3/4" NPT Bronze Y Strainer designed for rigorous HVACR and industrial fluid control. Built with a robust ASTM B584 cast bronze body, this Y-type strainer provides essential protection for downstream equipment like pumps, steam traps, and heat exchangers by capturing scale, grit, and other foreign particles. It features a high-capacity 20 mesh 304 stainless steel screen that ensures optimal filtration with minimal pressure drop across the system.

Engineering for high-performance reliability, the 59-004-01 is rated for a cold working pressure (CWP) of 400 PSIG and a steam working pressure (SWP) of 125 PSIG at temperatures up to 350°F. The self-aligning screen design facilitates easy maintenance, while the PTFE gasket ensures a leak-proof seal under demanding thermal conditions. This female NPT connection model is 100% factory pressure tested, making it a dependable choice for contractors managing piping system protection in commercial boilers, cooling towers, and process liquid lines.

• Enhanced Equipment Longevity: Prevents debris-related failures in sensitive components like meters and control valves.
• Reduced Maintenance Downtime: The 304 stainless steel screen is easy to remove and clean thanks to the self-aligning internal geometry.
• Corrosion Resistance: The cast bronze construction excels in water and steam applications, outperforming standard iron alternatives.
• Reliable High-Temp Sealing: Equipped with a PTFE gasket to maintain integrity in high-temperature steam environments.
• Flexible Installation: Compact Y-pattern allows for horizontal or vertical mounting depending on flow direction.

Can this strainer be used for potable water applications?
This specific model is the standard 59 series; for applications requiring lead-free compliance (NSF/ANSI 372), the 59LF series should be specified.

What is the maximum pressure for steam service?
The unit is rated for 125 PSIG SWP. For non-shock liquid or gas service at lower temperatures, the rating increases to 400 PSIG CWP.

Is the screen replaceable or can I upgrade to a finer mesh?
Yes, the 20 mesh screen is standard and removable. Apollo Conbraco offers various mesh options (up to 100 mesh) to suit specific filtration requirements for different media.
