Why Aluminum Bronze?
Aluminum bronze combines high strength with excellent resistance to corrosion. Titan identifies ASTM B148 aluminum bronze as a preferred material for lead-free Y strainers and for applications such as seawater and other services where corrosion resistance is important.
The YS52-AB also meets Titan's published lead-free requirements for potable-water use, with lead content of 0.25% or less by weighted average on wetted surfaces.
How a Y Strainer Works
Flow passes through the internal stainless steel straining element, which captures debris before it can reach downstream pumps, meters, spray nozzles, compressors, turbines, valves, and other equipment.
The straining element should be inspected and cleaned routinely. Titan recommends avoiding excessive differential pressure across a loaded screen.
Straining Element Options
For standard liquid service, Titan specifies a 20-mesh straining element for sizes 1/4" through 2" and a 1/16" perforated element for sizes 2-1/2" through 3". Titan also offers stocked alternate mesh and perforation selections. If your service requires a specific filtration opening, contact GetPipe.com before ordering so the required configuration can be confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Titan YS52-AB?
The YS52-AB is a lead-free aluminum bronze threaded Y strainer designed to remove debris from compatible piping systems.
What pressure class is the YS52-AB?
Titan identifies the YS52-AB as ASME Class 250 with a 400 psi WOG non-shock pressure rating at 150°F.
Why use aluminum bronze?
Aluminum bronze provides high strength and strong corrosion resistance, making it useful for seawater, potable-water, and other compatible corrosive-service applications.
What is the standard liquid screen?
Sizes 1/4" through 2" use 20 mesh for standard liquid service. Sizes 2-1/2" through 3" use 1/16" perforation.
Can a different screen or perforation be ordered?
Yes. Titan offers multiple stocked mesh and perforation selections. Contact GetPipe.com for non-standard filtration requirements.
