Watts LF25AUB-Z3 Water Pressure Reducing Valve NPT Female Union x NPT Female, Polymer Seat, 1/2 Inch

This 1/2 inch lead free brass water pressure reducing valve is the standard model, designed to reduce incoming water pressure to protect plumbing systems and reduce water consumption for commercial, industrial and residential applications. The easy maintenance assembly consists of a replaceable seat module, NPT threaded female union inlet by NPT female outlet and a bypass feature to control thermal expansion pressure. The temperature range is 33 to 160 degrees F (0.5 to 71 degrees C). Suitable for up to 300 psi (20.7 bar), the pressure range can be adjusted from 25 to 75 psi (172 to 517 kPa) with the standard setting at 50 psi (345 kPa).

• LEAD-FREE WATER PRESSURE REDUCTION: The Watts 1/2" Lead-Free Water Pressure Reducing Valve reduces incoming water pressure to protect plumbing systems and reduce water consumption in commercial, industrial, and residential applications. This assembly includes a removable integral stainless steel strainer, replaceable seat module, thermal expansion bypass, high-temperature diaphragm, and a sealed spring case with stainless steel cage screws for waterwork pit installations.
• EASY INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE: With versatile end connection options such as PEX, CPVC, and Quick-Connect, this lead-free water pressure reducing valve is designed for straightforward installation with easy handling and in-line serviceability, featuring an NPT female union inlet by NPT female outlet that simplifies the installation process.
• THERMAL EXPANSION PROTECTION: The valve includes a bypass feature that effectively controls thermal expansion pressure, permitting the flow of water back through the valve into the main when pressures - due to thermal expansion on the outlet side of the valve - exceed the pressure in the main supply. It has an operating temperature range of 33° F (0.5° C) to 180° F (82° C).
• VERSATILE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT: This valve is suitable for pressures up to 300 psi (20.7 bar) and allows for an adjustable pressure range between 25 to 75 psi (172 to 517 kPa), with a standard setting at 50 psi (345 kPa).
