Watts 0009180 Valve
The Watts 0009180 (Series LFU5B-Z3) is a heavy-duty, 1 1/4-inch lead-free water pressure reducing valve engineered for high-demand commercial and industrial plumbing systems. Constructed with a lead-free cast copper silicon alloy body, this high performance PRV is designed to manage incoming supply pressures up to 300 PSI, effectively protecting downstream components while significantly reducing water consumption. The Watts LFU5B-Z3 1.25 features an adjustable output range of 25 to 75 PSI, factory-set at 50 PSI, and utilizes a thermal expansion bypass to prevent pressure spikes in closed systems. For ease of maintenance in the field, the unit includes a replaceable seat module and an integral stainless steel strainer, both of which are fully serviceable in-line without requiring special tools or complete valve removal. This model employs NPT female union x NPT female connections and a reinforced EPDM diaphragm capable of handling water temperatures from 33°F up to 160°F.
Key Benefits
- Maximum System Protection: Regulates high-pressure mains to a stable 25-75 PSI range to prevent pipe bursts and faucet leaks.
- Maintenance Efficiency: The replaceable seat module and strainer can be serviced in-line, minimizing downtime for busy facilities.
- Thermal Expansion Control: Built-in bypass feature protects the system from pressure build-up caused by water heating.
- Corrosion Resistance: Features a sealed spring cage with stainless steel screws, making it suitable for outdoor pit installations.
- Lead-Free Compliance: Meets all federal regulations for potable water systems with its cast copper silicon alloy construction.
Common Questions
What is the difference between the LFU5B-Z3 and standard PRVs?
The Watts 0009180 is part of the high-performance series, featuring a larger diaphragm and more sensitive spring for precise regulation in high-flow applications compared to smaller residential models.
Can the Watts 0009180 handle hot water applications?
Yes, the unit is equipped with a high-temperature resistant reinforced diaphragm, allowing it to operate in water temperatures up to 160°F.
Is this valve suitable for outdoor installation?
The Z3 version includes a sealed spring cage and corrosion-resistant cage screws specifically designed for accessible outdoor or subterranean pit environments.
