Item Features

• ASTM B148 body material: Aluminum bronze is stronger and less likely to corrode than other bronze alloys, making them a preferred choice for sea water and other applications where corrosion is a concern
• Because of its copper content, marine organisms cannot colonize on the material
• Additionally, Titan®'s YS54-AB is used for potable water applications as it meets lead free statutes requiring that the lead content in the wetted surfaces is 0.25% or less as determined by a weighted average
• New design with gauge taps: Titan®'s YS54 has convenient gauge taps furnished with a plug on both the inlet and outlet sides of sizes 2 in through 12 in
• These taps allow for easy installation of pressure gauges to monitor differential pressure and determine when screen cleaning is necessary
• Large straining capacity: With its large body and sizeable straining element, the YS54 provides excellent open area ratios that are typically two-and-a-half times larger than the corresponding pipeline, minimizing pressure drop across the valve
• Precision machined seats: Precision machined screen seats in both the body and cap help to ensure accurate positioning of the screen during reassembly after cleaning, also the machined body seats enable finer filtration by preventing debris bypass
• Self-cleaning capability: With a tapped NPT blow-off connection, this unit can be fitted with a blow-down valve which facilitates cleaning of the straining element
• PTFE gasket
