Description

The YS00050SU from Hayward’s YS Series is engineered for **durability** and inspection convenience. It's clear PVC body resists chemical attack while allowing you to see inside. The true-union socket configuration lets you detach the strainer body without cutting the pipeline. Internally, the 1/32″ perforated screen captures debris before it can reach pumps or sensors, and the FPM O-ring provides consistent sealing through repeated maintenance cycles. Rated for 150 psi non-shock at 70 °F, it fits demanding water, pool, and industrial systems.

Pro Tip

Use true-union ball valves on both sides so you can isolate before servicing. Monitor through the clear body and clean before performance degrades. Always loosen the union—not socket joints—during removal.

Installation Tips

Confirm flow arrow matches system direction. Use proper primer and solvent cement for socket joins. Avoid overtightening the union nut to prevent O-ring damage. In vertical orientation, install with the cap downward so debris drops away from the screen entrance.
