The Rheem-Ruud 83-26020-09 is a 1/2" x 1/2" sweat strainer designed for use in residential and commercial HVAC systems. This inline strainer helps protect equipment by filtering out debris, scale, and sediment from the refrigerant or fluid lines before it reaches critical components like valves, controls, and metering devices.

Key Features:

• 1/2" sweat connections on both inlet and outlet for easy installation
• Compact design for tight installation spaces
• Durable brass construction for long-lasting performance
• Removable screen for cleaning and maintenance
• Helps prevent valve damage and system contamination

This strainer is commonly installed in refrigeration lines, condensate systems, or hydronic heating applications where protecting downstream components from particulate matter is essential. The sweat connections allow for permanent soldered installation using standard HVAC brazing techniques.
