**Q: Can I remove the strainer so that I can feed a tube down through the wye to pump out the water in the pipe below for a camp winterization application?**
A: Yes you should be able to do that.

**Q: What is the temperature range/rating is this strainer assembly rated for?**
A: I drain and remove my assembly when temperatures are expected to be below freezing. It lengthens the life of the unit.

**Q: Does this come with rubber washers (like in a hose connection)?  I see it is IPS not NPT so i assume it is meant to seal against a washer.**
A: No rubber washers were included. You will need to wrap the connecting pipes/PVC with plumbers tape or some other sealer. On my 2nd year with this backflow and seems to be holding us just fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality

Good quality and works great for a prefer for backflow valve. Well water with lots of sediment kept interfering with backflow seat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Y-Strainer to Protect Valuable Plumbing Components
*by G***. on March 15, 2024*

Y-Strainers are regarded in the plumbing community as "insurance" to protect and filter out any debris or water softener resin beads (which was my main reason for purchasing this) from your valuable plumbing system components like a PRV, water softener, or your internal home plumbing fixtures and supply line hoses. Please keep in mind if you are considering a Y-Strainer, no matter what size you elect to go with, you will introduce a slight flow restriction (reduction) to your overall home's natural PSI water flow rate from the main because of the mesh wire acting as a very light barrier to filter sediment from your water supply line as it moves through your system. The larger you go, the less restrictive it is. Zurn actually has a really great chart showing what you can expect the resulting pressure drop to be based on your home's psi measurement (you have to measure this at your spigot to find out what your house produces) and the size pipe fitting of the Y-Strainer itself. I personally chose to go with the 1in strainer because my house psi is 75psi, and according to the chart provided by Zurn, the 3/4 inch strainer would be far more restrictive on my internal plumbing water pressure (roughly 8-10psi drop) than a larger unit like 1in. The 1in unit chart showed a 1-2psi drop at most which literally is complete unnoticeable unless you REALLY pay attention to it. Either way, the unit is awesome, no leaks, pressure feels exactly the same it did prior to install, and it was a breeze to install (no leaks at all) after the water softener to prevent any potential future resin beads breaking through the softener and trying to get into my internal plumbing. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking to protect their plumbing components.
