The NIBCO Press System bronze Y-strainer features press x press female end connections with an inboard bead and EPDM O-rings for quick and easy joinery to the piping system. Simply applying pressure from a press-fit tool tightens the O-ring onto the tube, ensuring a clean, permanent, watertight seal in seconds, with no flame, solder or flux. The strainer is a "Y" type with a branch angled off the flow path.
