ASCO 8600A2 Brass Strainer One Quarter Inch NPT

ASCO 8600A2 is a 1/4-inch NPT forged-brass inline Y-strainer designed to remove solids from fluid lines before they reach valves or actuators. It uses a stainless-steel screen with a 60x60 mesh (approximately 155 micron particle retention) and a total free hole area of 0.93 in², all enclosed in a rugged brass body with Viton seals for reliable performance in demanding environments. The unit handles up to 400°F and 750 psi, making it suitable for air, oil, and water service in pneumatic and hydraulic applications. Its compact Y-type design and 1/4" NPT connections allow straightforward installation in tight spaces upstream of solenoids or flow-control assemblies, helping protect downstream components from particulate contamination. This 8600A2 model is part of ASCO’s line of pipe-line strainers, offering a durable brass body with a stainless-steel screen and Viton seals tailored for standard 1/4" pipe systems in industrial settings.
