Watts 0009606 Valve
The Watts 0009606 (Model LFN55BM1-U) is a heavy-duty, lead-free water pressure reducing valve designed for commercial and residential applications requiring precise down-stream regulation. Featuring a 3/4 inch NPT threaded union inlet and NPT female outlet, this high-capacity regulator handles supply pressures up to 300 psi. The LFN55BM1 series is specifically engineered for easy maintenance, utilizing a bypass feature to control thermal expansion pressure. This lead-free water regulator comes factory-set at 50 psi but allows for field adjustment within a 10 to 35 psi range, making it ideal for low-pressure systems. Its integral stainless steel strainer prevents debris from fouling the seat, ensuring long-term reliability in potable water lines. The modular construction allows for quick access to the seat and reinforced EPDM diaphragm without removing the valve body from the piping, reducing downtime for service contractors.
Key Benefits- Lead-Free brass body construction meets all NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 requirements for potable water safety.
- Adjustable 10-35 psi range provides versatility for specific low-pressure flow requirements.
- Internal bypass feature manages thermal expansion, protecting downstream plumbing components from pressure spikes.
- Serviceable design allows for the replacement of the cartridge assembly without disconnecting the 3/4 inch NPT pipe connections.
- Integrated strainer protects the valve disc and seat from pipeline scale and sediment.
What is the maximum inlet pressure for the LFN55BM1 series?
The valve is rated for a maximum initial supply pressure of 300 psi, though performance is optimized when the pressure drop is kept within standard operating parameters.
Can this valve be installed in any orientation?
Yes, the Watts 0009606 can be installed horizontally or vertically, provided the flow follows the direction of the arrow cast into the valve body.
Is the seat replaceable if it becomes wiredrawn?
The LFN55BM1 features a replaceable engineered plastic seat and stainless steel strainer that can be accessed through the bottom plug for rapid maintenance.
