EASY INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE: Featuring an NPT threaded union female inlet by NPT female outlet, this lead-free water pressure reducing valve is designed for straightforward installation with easy handling and in-line serviceability.

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 400 psi (27.6 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).
