Description
The Metraflex LPDMAG0200 is a 2″ Low Pressure Drop (LPD) Strainer equipped with an integrated magnetic insert, engineered to deliver superior protection for hydronic heating and cooling systems. Designed with system efficiency in mind, this strainer combines mechanical filtration with powerful magnetic capture technology to remove both particulate debris and ferrous contaminants before they can damage pumps, valves, and other critical system components.
Product Overview
Metraflex is a trusted name in piping specialty products, and the LPD Strainer series reflects their commitment to low-resistance, high-performance fluid handling. The 2″ connection size makes this unit well-suited for a wide range of commercial and industrial hydronic applications. The built-in magnetic insert captures iron oxide particles and other ferrous debris that standard strainer screens alone cannot trap, helping to extend equipment life and reduce maintenance intervals.
Key Features

- Dual-action filtration: mechanical screen plus magnetic capture technology
- Protects pumps, heat exchangers, valves, and other downstream components
- Designed for easy maintenance and magnet cleaning without full system shutdown
- Durable construction suitable for commercial and industrial hydronic systems
- Metraflex quality engineering for long service life
Applications
- Hydronic heating and chilled water systems
- Boiler and chiller piping circuits
- Commercial HVAC closed-loop systems
- Industrial fluid handling where ferrous contamination is a concern
Why Choose a Magnetic Strainer?
In closed hydronic systems, iron oxide (magnetite) and other ferrous particles are a leading cause of pump wear, valve failure, and reduced heat transfer efficiency. A standard Y-strainer captures larger debris but allows fine ferrous particles to pass through. The Metraflex LPD Strainer with magnetic insert addresses both threats simultaneously — the strainer screen catches particulate matter while the powerful magnet attracts and holds ferrous contaminants. The result is cleaner system water, longer equipment life, and lower total cost of ownership.
